Common tern / Visdief (Sterna hirundo) awesome moment when one comes in to land as the other one looked up at it. Taken last Sunday at #Arkemheen 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #commontern #visdief #fishers #sternahirundo #flight #wings

Small birds on fences in the #polders of #Arkemheen! Taken over the last 2 weekends. Weather has been great and more and more birds have returned.🪶 #birds #birdphotography #songbirds #sedgewarbler #rietzanger #meadowpipit #graspieper #yellowwagtail #gelekwikstaart #barnswallow #boerenzwaluw #Nijkerk

Female pheasant snacking on some dandelion seeds. I was very excited to get this opportunity to get so close as they are usually very shy and their plumage more camouflaged than their male counterparts.

A few photos I took after the fog cleared at the #Arkemheen polder in #Nijkerk last Sunday morning. First time seeing the sedge warbler and yellow wagtail this year!

Personal hygiene is important, even for birds. Especially in this time of year when they're either attracting mates or already building/maintaining a nest. Taken last Monday in the forest birding hide in #Espelo

Common #blackbird / #Merel (Turdus merula)
They may be a regular bird you see almost every day, but that doesn't make them less beautiful.

I'm impressed that even at ISO 12800, I managed to retain much detail thanks to #dxo

A story in 3 photos that made me laugh when I saw the sequence.

Great tit getting photobombed by one of his mates, and doesn't look too pleased about it.

After a long day at the birding hide in #Espelo we were almost ready to head home. Hoping a little bit for a sparrowhawk, but then this little guy showed up who gave us some nice opportunities for photos!

New #lifer for me!
