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 picture of a Great Crested Grebe looking at the camera while passing me in the water. The photo was taken with a harsh sun high up in the sky, so I heavily underexposed, which makes the background very dark, till black.

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 male Bearded Reedling between some reeds. The Bird is photographed from its left side. Did you know that Bearded Reedlings can have up to three nests per season? Some will have up to 20 kids per season.

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
Black-winged Kite accidentally landed on a shrub with berries. Its wings are widely spread, as it tries to keep its balance.

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 beautiful Juvenile Kingfisher resting on my index finger after it flew into a window. Although these birds are very stress sensitive... it stayed very calm and relaxed,

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
A Juvenile Bluethroat perched on a branch in a swamp area I photographed it from the right side. There's no blue throat to be seen yet. They are brownish with beige, and the base of their tail is orange.

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
Father and Mother Swan with 4 newborn chicks. They're 4 days old and following their parents closely. A happy family.

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
Baby Pied Avocet foraging in the shallow water, trying to find something to eat... Mama, blurry in the background in the grass, is still close by, keeping a sharp eye on her precious little one.

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
This is a photo of a young Robin that just left the nest. It's brownish and doesn't have an orange chest for its own good. Mum or Dad would definitely attack it if it had one.

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 beautiful black, grey and brown Harris's Hawk gliding down with its wings spread to catch prey on the ground. This bird lives in large parts of South America and doesn't migrate. A fierce bird you don't want to mess with

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
A Buzzard sitting in a meadow enjoying a rainshower. it hasn't rained for a long time, so it's bone dry everywhere. This Buzzard just spread its wings and is taking it all in.

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. 😰

A Grey Heron shot from below while it was flying directly over me. In the back, just a clear blue sky

A Black Redstart is flying off to somewhere else. The sun is coming from behind, so the spread wings look beautiful.

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
It's very early in the morning and still dark, and this is the view from a Birdhide. Some kind of Marten surprisingly shows up and is climbing on a dead tree trunk, looking straight into the camera.

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
Dunnock standing tall before a sunny green background. The birds are backlit, so the orange legs shine bright.

This male Barn Owl spots me as it glides silently through the trees recently in County Durham.

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
A Village Weaver leaving the nest. The sky is perfectly blue, and you can see the bright yellow and black Village Weaver dropping out of its nest, a hanging basket with a bottom entrance. Pure genius how they build these beautiful nests.

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
A colourful Mandarin Duck, photographed in the water from the side. Its beautiful colours really stand out against the dark water. Orange, gold, green, black, white, red and purple. His red-orange beak is open because he's calling out for company.

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
A male Penduline Tit resting on some pink coloured blossom. Always on the lookout for new partners. They will easily change partners several times per season.

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
A close-up of a beautiful orange and blue Kingfisher perched just over the water. This picture is taken from the right side of the bird. It definitely saw me and heard me, but it stayed put and kept on fishing for some time.
