Today in the Heempark.
Groups of long-tailed tits climbing and flying swiftly between branches.
Just outside the park, poppy and cichory flowers.
Near the water: reed warbler singing.
Blue-tailed damselfly flying.
A moorhen with young.
This year, tawny owls with young in the park.
In the meadow between Heempark and Oud Poelgeest: northern lapwing.
In Oud Poelgeest: dragonflies, and ring-necked parakeets calling.

Love the link ups, checked out the owls – how do you do that?
Thanks for your kind words!
If, when making posts, you tag them “owls”; then, after the posts are finished, if you click at the bottom of the post, after “tagged”, click on “owls”, then all blog posts tagged “owls” will appear under one another.
Thanks
I love to watch the birds and interact with them in the Georgia Mountains. Many beautiful birds pass this way and many others live here.
I hope you will yet see many more birds
