Spring couples

A few weeks I visited the famous wetlands area in the Netherlands close to the Naardermeer (Eemnes) to look for stoats (hermelijntjes), but it was too early. Instead a lot of birds were already gathering trying to find a mate. The swans form couples for the rest of their lives, but the lapwings were starting their courtship flights, and later I saw thousands of godwits in panic because they were chased by birds of prey. I'll be back!
