One of these is not like the others.

Went to #Arkemheen yesterday morning with a birding buddy and spotted a purple heron for the first time! We also spotted #spoonbills, #snipes, #wagtails and more. I just gotta sort through all the 2300 photos... 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #purpleheron #cows #polder #dutchlandscape #ardea #purpurea

This hare crossed my path yesterday, it must've hopped through one of the shallow irrigation canals as its fur looks very wet. It sat there for a moment then noticed someone else walking towards us, before it noticed me and ran off.

I saw many hares hopping through the fields this morning. This one sitting on a small farmer's field between the two nature reserves #Bloeidaal and #DeSchammer

Honk like an Egyptian!?

Some Nile geese call #DeSchammer their home too. First time I got a decent picture of them and some bonus gadwalls on the boardwalk.

It wasn't as sunny and clear as I hoped, regardless it was a great morning walk and it was the first time I've spotted a Great Egret at #DeSchammer.
Hoping for some better chances to see it closer and take some better photos in the near future.

I love how silhouettes can give off a whole variety of vibes.
The crow looks somewhat barren and looming, while the great tit with a small insect in its mouth seems more friendly and homely in a way.

King of my castle!
In Dutch we call these little wrens winterkoning / king of winter.
Winter may be gone, this little wren is still royalty here!

Taken last Saturday in #DeSchammer #Leusden

Early morning hares in #Bloeidaal #Amersfoort
Shots like these make waking up at 5:30am worth it.

Nice spectacle this morning when a few barn swallows were perching together and chattering. I focused on these three on the branch, but more of them were sitting outside of the frame.
