The last 2 evenings I've been out watching and photographing these long-eared #owlets in #ParkSchothorst #Amersfoort They are so fun to watch hopping branches and sometimes cuddling with their branchling siblings but most of all waiting for the parent to bring them dinner!

I'm planning to go see them again during the daytime tomorrow, hopefully some better light conditions!

Magnificent, stoic, but also a little bit clumsy looking, the spoonbill is always an interesting sight. I hadn't seen one in breeding plumage before yesterday.

One of my buddies tipped me about a location where 5 #juvenile #kestrels were preparing to leave their nest box only a small detour from the polder I went to visit this morning. Some were stretching their wings, a few others where just sitting in the grass. 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #fledglings #falco #tinnunculus #DutchNature #Putten #birdsofprey #falcons #takentoday

Kluut / Pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) making a bow and stretching its wings a few weeks ago in #Arkemheen.

Looks like the weather is getting decent enough to get on the bike early in the morning tomorrow and see what's new in the #polder

This weekend the weather hasn't been great for birding, but for a little bit of that feeling of #warmth, here is a female #yellow #wagtail I photographed last week Thursday in the #Arkemheen polder. Beak full of insects to feed to her chicks.

Last week I went out with a buddy to National Park de Hoge Veluwe to sit in some birding huts while the temperatures outside hit 32°C. Many of the birds came for refreshing baths. 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #DutchNature #NationalPark #HogeVeluwe #bullfinch #willowwarbler #blackcap #bluetit #hawfinch

Been neglecting posting here cause I've been busy with a lot of other things.
But now I have quite a backlog beside the few photos I've shared on my Instagram.
Im gonna try to get back to posting birds and occasional other wildlife and nature more regularly.
Also: I got a new lens!
