The eleventh month of 2023 yielded some interesting species. On the dike at the nature reserve Utopia, two Richard's Pipits stayed for several days. Another surprise was the discovery of a Iceland Gull on the beach near pole 12. This Arctic gull breeds in Greenland and often winters in the Netherlands in small numbers. In the harbor of Oudeschild, a young Black-throated Diver could be admired for several days.
