2 years ago today, I was lucky to spend an hour with this male #Shoebill in Mabamba Swamp, #Uganda. I watched him hunt, preening & spreading his huge wings out & just standing (as they do) waiting for prey. I will never forget that hour. Treat yourself!

Today’s waddle was in nature reserve ‘Lusthof de Haeck’ near the Nieuwkoopse Plassen.

It was wonderful to hear and see the mixed-species foraging flocks in bushes and trees.

And I was delighted to see the winterguest Fieldfare in large flocks again. Sat down for a while to observe flocks coming and going. And a sparrowhawk startling a flock while trying to catch a Fieldfare.

In a more open area I saw a fight between common kestrels and carrion crows. Will post a video in a reply.

Among others I saw a beautiful stork and cranes (probably escaped) in the fields.
