Genoeg vogels op de foto vanuit dit hutje om vogels te spotten, maar die zullen niet zo bijzonder zijn denk ik.
Castricum, Nederland
Enough birds on the photo from this cabin to spot birds, but they won't be that special I think.
Castricum, The Netherlands
Cranes at Slimbridge WWT - Gloucestershire
In the interest of aesthetics I removed the bird's leg rings!
Male Pintail - Slimbridge WWT - taken in poor light in the pouring rain but a pleasing composition. I often envy those who submit photos of wildlife from "sunnier climes" where high shutter speeds and lens' "sweet spots" are the norm. In the UK we suffer from the dreaded "white-out" skies for a lot of the year lacking any contrast but perhaps it makes us better photographers overcoming these "challenges"?

Footnote: it's pouring down outside as I write this!!
I set up a perch in the garden to try out my new kit 7D mk11 and Sigma c 150-600 ,but a passing kitty had other plans .
I think Cleo caught her last bird about two years ago. Nowadays she just prefers to watch them. I'm not sure if it's wisdom or pure laziness but I'm grateful that at least one of the cats doesn't represent a serious danger to the bird world.
Kingfishers (Alcedo atthis) or Alcedinidae are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The family contains 114 species and is divided into three subfamilies and 19 genera. All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes. Most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests. They consume a wide range of prey usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground. Some kingfishers nest in arboreal termite nests. A few species, principally insular forms, are threatened with extinction. In Britain, the word "kingfisher" normally refers to the common kingfisher.
