"Maretak" is Dutch for mistletoe. Not an expert, but this specific species is probably named Viscum album.
Spotted near Valkenburg, Limburg, while hiking the Pieterpad long distance trail.

From the album Pieterpad - Maastricht-Strabeek

Please have a look at my albums:
This little fellow is an expert in his field! A Grey Squirrel that loves peanuts. How does a Squirrel in this part of the country grow up to know that this is something good to eat. The Peanuts don't grow locally, so someone must have taught them that they are good!
Alpine Chough / Alpendohle (Pyrrhocorax graculus)
My first sighting of the awesome Alpine Chough! This was one of a pair that I was pleasantly surprised to see hanging out for a few minutes on the rooftop of the solitary "Grubighütte", situated ~1800m up the at the top of the Grubigstein mountain - just next to the famous 3000m Zugspitze.
Other than their chosen environment, they can be told from other crows by their red legs and slim, downturned bills.
Alpine Choughs are high mountain experts, and are thought to nest at a higher altitude than any other bird. Their eggs are adapted to the thin atmospheres, enabling improved oxygen uptake and reduced water loss. (Wiki)
An F/A-18F from VFA-122 Flying Eagles (radio callsign EXPERT) returns to NAF El Centro after a training mission over the nearby ranges.
A white stork efficiently dispatching an eel - apparently their favourite food - on the Ria Formosa at Ludo. The eel was found, killed and swallowed in well under a minute.
Not the best photo I've ever taken, but I couldn't pass up the obvious juxtaposition.

I was fooled when I first saw this, thinking it was a real dragonfly.
(Dedicated to my old E-410 ... a great introduction to Olympus cameras).
