Storks and more!


Netherlands, August

The reason why so many birds are here. The tractor is cutting away the plants on the sides of the sloot(waterway). This disturbs a lot of insects, fish, amphibians and other invertebrates . Creating a feeding frenzy.

Thanks. It's optical zoom all the way out from 600mm to 150mm. I was too lazy to walk back to get the entire windmill in shot.

Cool goose. Do you know the species?
Thanks, I was very lucky to get this shot.
I always used wxwidgets for small stuff. Another option is gtk (pygobject) but that is slightly more annoying to work with.
Thanks.
Definitely a goldfinch with that metallic yellow wingbar.
Thanks, these ducks were in Zuid-Holland 40 km (25 miles) from the coast. They are also spotted in Limburg sometimes.
Definitely a female Blackcap. Also spent hours trying to get a decent photo of one :)
Thanks
