Tuesday - Birds of a feather: birdwatching in NL

One thing I often notice when I bike to work, is the amount and diversity of birds, ducks, swans and other winged animals, hanging about in the parks, floating on canals and crossing the fietspad..

Just recently, in a polder next to the Queen's house, I saw some 20 storks sharing the grass with a flock of sheep while a crane looked on impassibly.

Bird enthusiasts and beginners alike can keep up to date with the bird situation here:
