Starling and Middle Spotted Woodpecker surprised to see each other !?
Finch
Greenfinch
Hawfinch, last week Friday
The same Grey Heron as on the photo yesterday. The heron must have seen something to eat under the ice. He just miscalculated how thick (and slippery) the ice was.

I really love Khao Yai National Park. For over 20 years we come here regularly. Last March the area around one of the camp sites was just full of different species feasting on the fruits in the trees. Wherever we looked we saw amazing birds, among them were the hornbill or the beauty on this photo
Firecrest at dawn. Beautiful little bird. Veluwe (NL). #Birds

This one is from early March in the Rama 9 Park in Bangkok, the Indian cuckoo or short-winged cuckoo (Kortvleugelkoekoek). #Birds
Last Saturday at the Kromslootpark (Almere, NL) I saw this European Goldfinch. In the morning sun they looked amazing. #Birds

Beautiful black and white avocet in the Lauwersmeer National Park #birds #wildlife
National Park Lauwersmeer is popular among birders. In the evening light this reed bunting was showing itself. Other birds I saw there included the godwit, the avocet, cormorant, common shelduck, ringed plover, common redshank and so many more. #birds
A common redshank here at the northern coastline of the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. #birds
This barn swallow was sitting on the small bridge leading into the famous Driehoek (triangle) of the Oostvaardersplassen. I suspect they might have built a nest underneath the bridge. #birds
Another one from the Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands, right at the entrance, near the visitor center, I found this common redstart. #birds
This morning went into the Oostvaardersplassen again and got this beautiful bluethroat in front of the camera. #birds #bluethroat
