Progress of ~1.5 years of #Kingfisher photo's.

First on 30 November 2024, 2 months on the new hobby. Next one was in #Bloeidaal 1 year ago, a week later my best so far at #Waterwingebied

But yesterday beat all of those with a great sharp and detailed shot! Extra details in the alt-text

New lifer from this weekend: The #Bullfinch / #Goudvink. Right here in the park next door!
Beautiful little bird, hopefully I'll be able to shoot some photo's of them in a slightly less distracting environment this year.

The weather may still be dreary, but this great tit is already inspecting and prepping his little house for spring, so it won't be much longer! Taken yesterday morning at the #Waterwingebied

On the 14th of February last year, I first took out my then new #CanonR10. Here is the first picture I took with it: A #cormorant at #Waterwingebied, versus a picture I took last Saturday at the #Oostvaardersplassen of a cormorant landing on a branch. 🪶 #birds #DutchNature #1yearapart #aalscholver

Photo from a few weeks ago in the park next door, I like the framing and vibe of this one.

One of the few younger herons that roam around the #Waterwingebied area.

How coot!
I had never seen little #cootlings before (is that what they're called?)
Slowly going through last weekend's photos and trying to filter out the best ones, these from my last short walk in the park.

This robin was posing for me last Saturday when I took one last walk in the park next door after a long morning stroll in the nature reserve.

Common birds in my area, but that doesn't make them any less beautiful!
Wood #pigeon having a drink, a #jay keeping an eye out while its partner foraged nearby, a #blackbird collecting worms for his family and a house #sparrow pruning between some green foliage. 🪶 #birds #Waterwingebied #Amersfoort

As I was standing near the pond scouting for kingfishers, a few other birders showed up too. We had a little chat and spotted this male kingfisher that perched nearby before flying off again allowing us to take some photos of him. 🪶 #birds #kingfisher #ijsvogel #waterwingebied #amersfoort
