Hawfinch/Appelvink (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) on a branch showing its back with brown shoulders and blue and black wingtips and facing to the right against a nice warm and creamy background.
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.

Blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) sideways on a branch in the sunlight, eating from a willow flower and covered in yellow pollen. A small piece of the flower is between its beak.
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.

Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) perched atop a piece of wood. Standing out against a grey background
Yesterday I went to a birding hide with a photography buddy I met a few weeks ago. It was a great time. I took over 3400 photos, so many to go through 😅
I'll start off with this beautiful Eurasian #Jay.

Me with my spouse in the morning sun on a green path.
We spotted a crow and pheasant in the distance having some friendly banter it seemed. Crow jumping up and flapping while the pheasant looks at it.
I crawled closer to photograph the banter between a crow and a pheasant.
We had a nice walk this morning and a few deer, hares and birds spotted at #Bloeidaal and #DeSchammer.

A large group of mostly Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa Limosa)
#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. A new #lifer for me! 🪶 #Birds #birdphotography #DutchNature

Beautiful little bird, hopefully I'll be able to shoot some photo's of them in a slightly less distracting environment this year.

Great tit (Parus major) inspecting and cleaning a nesting box hanging from a tree.
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

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.

Tawny owl (Strix aluco) peeking out of its hole with what looks like a grumpy morning face. This specific owl has lived in this tree for at least a few years now and is a well known celebrity among birders that visit the Hoge Veluwe park.

A few more photos I hadn't shared yet from my visit to National Park de Hoge Veluwe with a birding buddy. Tawny owl and the #fox were the definite highlights beside the very detailed shots we took at the hide. 🪶🦊 #Birds #DutchNature #tawnyowl #bosuil #chaffinch #vink #bluetit #pimpelmees #fox #vos

A few of the shots from the hide at #HogeVeluwe today. Sitting in a hide is nice for some close shots with nice #bokeh, but my preference is to hike around and see what I find. But it was a great day with a new buddy! More pics later

These were all taken in pretty dark light, so I'm glad they turned out quite nice.

Partially frozen heathland pool at the Hatertse Vennen during the onset of thaw, with melting ice, patches of snow, emerging grasses, and distant pine trees under an overcast sky.
First Signs of Thaw
A winter landscape at the Hatertse Vennen captured at the moment the thaw began. Snow still covers the heath and grasses, while the ice on the shallow pools is starting to break and soften.

Been a while since the weather was nice, but during the freezing Xmas days it was finally sunny again. Went out to explore the #Waterwingebied.
I'm running a trial of #DxO #PhotoLab which gives me insanely better results coming from #Darktable, seriously considering buying it. 🪶 #Birds #DutchNature
