Just a few nature photos taken while hiking with the kids at the Reeuwijkse plassen.
A grass snake (Ringslang) , Tufted duck (Kuifeend) and a Barnacle goose (Brandgans) and Blacktailed godwit (Grutto).
Thanks to @_trees and @hansclauzing for IDing the snake following my tweet.
Ive put them as highres for a change. To see the highres rightclick on the image below and open in new window or tab. Leftclick it for a normal res.
Yesterday we went to avifauna with the kids. Some nice portraits of birds made and the kids were very excited to feed the australian lorries 
Friday I took a day off from work and went to the oostvaardersplassen. This is a protected nature reserve where I wanted to go to for a long time already.
It’s a quite unique area, herds of wild horses, deer and cattle and too many bird species to mention.
I was lucky enough to see: the horses, deer and cattle, the white-tailed sea eagle (zeearend !!), silver heron (zilverreiger), rough-legged buzzard (ruigpootbuizerd), great grey shrike (klapekster) and much more! Certainly an area to visit more often
For more information on this area see : Staatsbosbeheer
