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!

I've seen them once before, but this one gave me plenty of time to take photos up close. I'm loving their colors.

Hawfinch / Appelvink sitting on a branch against a nice warm creamy background.
Beside the male's colors, its beak stands out as a defining feature, it can extort a lot of force, enough to crack a cherry pit.

Since it's likely the last day with nice weather for this week, I went for an afternoon walk in #Bloeidaal and spotted this blue tit eating from a willow flower and covered in pollen.

The reed buntings / Rietgors in Dutch were singing at the top of their little lungs in the sunshine, a sign that spring is fast approaching. Taken yesterday at #Arkemheen #Nijkerk.

#Black-tailed #Godwits also known to us Dutchies as the #Grutto. National bird of the Netherlands.
They just returned from their winter holiday in warmer lands and #Arkemheen is one of the prime places to see a lot of them together. So I went out yesterday to spot them. A new #lifer for me! 🪶 #Birds #birdphotography #DutchNature #Netherlands #polder #Nijkerk #CanonR10

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

#Fight club? Coot fu fighting?
These two Eurasian Coots were going at each other this morning in #Bloeidaal. Lots of splashing and squeaking. Eventually the fight broke up and one had to retreat.

Had an exciting experience at #Arkemheen polder today! After chasing away a #white-tailed #eagle, this red kite came at me, circling above me and possibly contemplating an attack. After a few good shots, I chose to leave its threatening aura.
