Schiermonnikoog and Lauwersmeer
On the 8th of April I met Komal and Sachin in front of their B&B in Groningen. Only 15 minutes later we made our first stop in ‘the Onlanden’ south of the city. The first bird we heard after we left the car was a Savi’s warbler, soon followed by the hoomping of a Great Bittern. Several March Harriers flew over the reedbeds.
