Nothing beats spending a day with some #Kingfishers #AlcedoAtthis #Kingfisher #Birds #BirdsinLatin #Birdphotography #Wildlife

One of my favourite water #birds is this ❤️#GreatCrestedGrebe. I can photograph it all day long, but at Midday, with that harsh and burning sun, you have to get a bit creative sometimes to take a nice picture. Hope you won't mind... #PodicepsChristatus #BirdsInLatin #Birding #Wildlife #Photography

A pond in your garden is a lovely feature, and adding some reeds makes it even more beautiful. But keep in mind—a pond also attracts mosquitoes. Fortunately, #birds like #BeardedReedlings and other insect-eaters are your best natural defence against them. #PanurusBiarmicus #BirdsInLatin #Birding

A #BlackWingedKite on a berry diet....😂 Nah.... I don't think so. It probably just missed the #bird that was foraging there a second earlier. #ElanusCaeruleus #BirdsInLatin #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

Thumbs up for this brave juvenile #Kingfisher. It flew against a window and was quite groggy for a while. So, it rested well in my hand. Unfortunately, it wouldn't fly anymore, so I took it to a #bird #sanctuary the next day, where it will probably fully recover #AlcedoAtthis #BirdsinLatin #Birding

A Juvenile #Bluethroat finding its way in a swamp area. A species that is, for a change, doing better every year in the Netherlands, because more and more suitable habitat has been added. It has even been crossed off the red list... hooray hooray..🥳 #LusciniaSvecica #Birds #BirdsinLatin #Birding

They're always so proudly showing off their offspring... Majestic and proud, they enjoy their afternoon swim along the shore with the little ones, so everybody can have a close watch. #LoveThem #Birds #BirdsinLatin #MuteSwan #CygnusOlor #MayBabyBoom #Wildlife

Every year, May is youngsters' time... Here's a baby #PiedAvocet trying to find food independently, but mama is still keeping a close watch in the back. #RecurvirostraAvosetta #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

Young #EuropeanRobins are out and exploring their world. Every year a beautiful moment when all the young #birds are out and playing together. This one saw me and had to check me out. #BirdsinLatin #ErithacusRubecula #Birding #Birdphotograpy #Nature #Wildlife

A #Harris'sHawk coming down for the kill. A non-migratory #bird from South America. Fun fact: these birds hunt in packs while most #raptors hunt alone. A magnificent bird

A #ComminBuzzard enjoying a shower. Finally, this is the first rainshower in about six weeks. It's about time those birds got some help from above. Lots of birds are also having difficulties finding insects in that dried-out ground. #Birds #ButeoButeo #BirdsinLatin #Birding #Birdphotography

This beautiful #GreyHeron flew over me quite low and close... while I was in a boat on the water, but the only thing I could think of... I hope it's not having cramps. 😰 #ArdeaCinerea #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birdphotography #Wildlife #Birding

Sometimes, when you have an early start in a #Birdhide while waiting for first light and the first #birds you get lucky and spot other #wildlife. I'm unsure what it is, perhaps a #EuropeanPineMarten or a more common #BeechMarten? I'm not sure, does anyone know? #BirdsinLatin #Birding

Cute little prothonotary warbler, looking over its shoulder at me. 🪶 #birds #BirdSky #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography

Sometimes when photographing people, especially men, they make themselves taller and put their chest up to look better... I think male birds do the same 😂 Here's a sturdy little #Dunnock for an example. #PrunellaModularis #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography

This male Barn Owl spots me as it glides silently through the trees recently in County Durham. @teesbirds.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social 🪶

Incredible how these geniuses build their nests, with the entrance always at the bottom. The bird is known under various names, like #VillageWeaver #BlackHeadedWeaver or #SpottedBackedWeaver. The common Latin name is simply #PloceusCucullatus #BirdsinLatin #BIrds #Birdphotography #Birding #Wildllife

Since about two days, we have a somewhat uncommon visitor in our pond. Normally, it's just some #Mallards and #CommonMoorhens, but the day before yesterday, the pond got colourful with this beautiful #Mandarin. #AixGalericulata #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

These #EurasianPendulineTits change partners up to 5-7 times per season. If the female chooses to leave the male after she lays eggs... the male will do the breeding. #RemizPendulinus #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

Looking unbothered and fierce this little one. This #Kingfisher was really close this time and even the clicking of the shutter didn't frighten it. #AlcedoAtthis #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

Phoebe (Friends) used to sing about "Smelly Cat", well, meet Smelly Bird, the #EurasianHoopoe. It will defend its nest by spraying a stinking substance towards any intruders. #UpupaEpops #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Wildlife

A pond without a #GreatCrestedGrebe is only half as attractive as when these beautiful #birds are there. Time flies watching these funny birds hunt, make court or fight each other. They're also quite photogenic. #PodicepsCristatus #BirdsinLatin #Canon #Birding #Birdphotograpy #Wildlife

The #Black-tailedGodwits are back for Summercamp in the Netherlands. Let's hope they will have a successful season this year because their number is rapidly declining. #LimosaLimosa #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #WIldlife #CanonR1 #Canon

Here's another pic from my visit to the Muriwai Gannet Colony last week. An adult gannet, wheeling over the surf beach below, on long & thin wings, perfectly adapted for long-distance pelagic flight. 🎣🐦🙂🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Strange Couple, but definitely in love. This #GreylagGoose likes his lady a bit more firm, so he choose a #GreaterCanadaGoose for a partner. Flying, Swimming and mating, not leaving her an inch from his side.... #TrueLove #BrantaCanadensis #AnserAnser #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birdphotography #Wildlife

#Curlews returning from the south... It feels like Spring more and more🤗. #NumeniusArquata #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife ☀️

Offering some food is among #Kingfishers the male's first step to attract a partner. If the female accepts the fish, mating will probably take place. #Birds #AlcedoAtthis #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

A Red-Tailed Hawk and a Raven. I think they complement each other well as representing a bird and their shadow. #birds

#Buzzards are quite common nowadays but some are really beautiful which makes them sort of rare. This beautiful lady even caught her own lunch. #ButeoButeo #BirdsinLatin #Birdsofprey #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #Photography #Ornithology

This is how beautiful birdphotography can be... Stunning capture.

Red-winged Blackbird. One of my favorite birds to observe and listen to. #birds

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

The #HoodedCrow is quite familiar for the rest of #Europe, but only occasionally seen in Western Europe, mostly during the Winter. Just like their black family members, loudmouths that will eat about anything they can find. #CorvusCornix #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Ornithology

The #EuropeanKingfisher is a beautiful colourful bird and on top of the most wanted list for many #BirdPhotographers in our area. It's one of the birds we see quite regularly on all kinds of Social Media. #AlcedoAtthis #BirdsinLatin #Birding #Birdphotography #Birds #Wildlife #Ornithology #Kingfisher

Always be careful, you never know who's sneaking up behind you. Here's a #EuropeanGoldfinch that understands. #CarduelisCarduelis #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birdphotography #Putter #Birding

A Handsome couple of #EuropeanStonechats checking out the feeder from some distance. I regularly use a paid bird hide, and the results are sometimes very nice, but good fortune is key. #Birds #SaxicolaRubicola #BirdsinLatin #SpringisComing #Birdphotography #Birdhide #WildlifePhotography
