Juvenile kingfisher begging for food until the parent had enough and shooed him away. It was a beautiful early morning at the local kingfisher spot.

#Crow and #Pheasant having some friendly banter together in #DeSchammer. The crow hopped around the pheasant a few times but they seemed to be acting friendly to each other and foraging together. 🪶 #Birds #birdphotography #DutchNature #Leusden #Pheasant #Phasianus #colchicus #crow #Corvus #corone

Yesterday I went out with a friend to go birding, we visited #Oostvaardersplassen, #Arkemheen, #Eemdijk and #DeSchammer
Here is a small selection of the raptors we spotted. 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #DutchNature #White-tailed-eagle #zeearend #kestrel #torenvalk #littleowl #steenuil #buzzard #buizerd

Me in #DeSchammer: Oh wow! so happy I've seen a singular #Egret!
Me in the #Arkemheen polder: Damn there's just too many of these egrets and #herons about! (and #cormorant, and #wigeons and #ducks and #grebes and probably more I can't all identify in this photo)

Went on a morning walk in de Schammer, it was a lot more cloudy than I expected, but when there was a little bit of sun, this juvenile ring-necked pheasant walked by in the grass.

Finally went to #DeSchammer again after almost 2 months. The weather wasn't great so my photos got a bit noisy, but this Great Egret made it all worthwhile (with a grey heron photobomb)

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.
