++ TURDUS MERULA ++
This #Blackbird posed too beautifully not to photograph.

As you can see in the back.... a blue sky.. so this was definitely not taken here in our wet Netherlands ☂
I was fortunate and enjoyed a few days of sun on the Spanish Coast near Alicante

Male Common Blackbird posing beautifully at the top of some reed under a clear blue sky. Staring curious my way probably wondering what I'm doing.

+ RECURVIROSTRA AVOSETTA + Stunning to see that somebody out there is creating creatures, that are perfectly adapted to the food they eat and search for... how about a beak like this for example.

The beauty of Spring. For the next 2 months the results of hardworking parents, building nests and flying back and forth with food, will become visible to the audience.

I love #Owls, they're all so gifted.
Here's a #BarnOwl flying up to catch a mouse. Quite a large bird, but it flies without a sound... The branch didn't make a noise when it took off and you don't hear the wings flapping... just nothing.
It really flies like a ghost.

++ AQUILA CHRYSAETO ++

A couple of young #goldeneagles It looks like the older one is protecting the youngest, but as soon as mama forgets to bring a new rat or mouse... The little one becomes prey. It's a harsh world out there.

2 young Golden Eagles still in their nest. The bigger one has a smaller sibling under its wing, so it looks like the bigger one is protecting the smaller sibling. However that's just a coincidence, as soon as the older one gets hungry... he will feed of its little brother or sister. Animal life can be cruel.

++ AEGITHALOS CAUDATUS ++
Happy that not all trees are fully in leaves already. This way you can at least spot the little ones as well.

Little Long Tailed Tit on a branch,,, trying to hide but unfortunately the leaves are not there yet. But Spring is working on it.

What a little bit of sunshine can do... Here's a Eurasian Penduline Tit enjoying the first blossom.
A rare species which is on our red list.
The picture was taken in Lelystad, the Netherlands

By the way, This photo was taken earlier this week in a town called Wommels, Friesland in the north of the Netherlands

A black tailed Godwit standing in a flooded meadow minding its own business, but a Pied Avocet is flying in from behind and tries to attack the Godwit.

Came across a lonesome fierce-looking little bandit in the middle of a puddle...

A Little Ringed Plover in the middle of a puddle, leaving a beautiful mirror image in the water as well. The black mask on their face and over their eyes make them look like bandits.

Not my most early one ever but still quite early in the season... An #EgyptianGoose with her baby😍

They are supposed to be quite common and not even shy, still it took me several years to get one in front of the camera. Weighing only a little over 5 grams... The #CommonFirecrest... Such beauty!

Today I went back to a nature reserve in the area... Mostly swamp area. I wanted to check whether the #blacktailedgodwit the #NorternLapwing and the #Curlew were already back from their Winter break... I spotted a few of each but this one... On top of the only bumb in the area was really showing off that he made it again. Couldn’t resist to capture it. Spring 🤗🌤

Last week freezing with snow.. Now we’re in the sun experiencing an enjoyable 17 degrees Celsius... With tons of birds flying back and forth with nestmaterial... The male #bullfinch here’s taking a rest.

My favourite Finch the #Hawfinch. Too bad they're so shy. Most of the time they'll stay high up in the treetops, but they have to come down for a drink every now and then giving bird-paparazzi like me a chance to get a decent shot

Hopefully, it will be the last snow we get. Although it's beautiful.. at some point we're longing for Spring.
Will make it easier for this #EurasianBlueTit to find its food.
