Østerild Fjord.

Today I visited Østerild Fjord. This area is enclosed to the south by a dam. The area is full of birdlife. Today I saw quite a few ducks and waders. Unfortunately I messed up the camera settings (C.Fn 16 was disabled, as required when shooting with a flash) and the first many photos were seriously under-exposed. I have increased the brightness in post, but the pictures turned out quite poor.

Heron (Ardea cinerea)
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
Teal (Anas crecca)
Sheld Duck (Tadorna tadorna)
Greylag Goose (Anser anser)
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus)
Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)
Lapving (Vanellus vanellus)
Redshank (Tringa totanus)
Herring Gull (Larus argentatus)
Black-headed Gull (Larus ridibundus)
Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
Skylark (Alaunda arvenis)
White Wagtail (Motacilla alba)

The unknown wader in the top photo is most likely a Ruff (Philomachus pugnax). If you know what the little gray bird is, please let me know.
