This species of Swallows from southern Europe is present in De Cocksdorp from April 22nd. It has a quieter way of flying with more gliding breaks than the general Barn Swallow. At almost the same place a male of European Serin shows itself very beautiful for a few days. Still there are regularly seen Ringouzels at different locations on Texel. First records this year of Garden Warblers and Eurasian Reed Warblers were reported this week.
