Goosanders, mandarin duck and robin

Today, to the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen nature reserve.

As we stopped to pick someone up, three ring-necked parakeets calling, flying overhead.

Immediately after the reserve entrance, three fallow deer. They are not shy, as there is no hunting here.

In the Oranjekom pond: male and female tufted ducks. Also gadwall ducks. A little grebe. A grey heron lands.

Nuthatch and great spotted woodpecker sound.

In the next pond, from the hide, four female and one male goosanders.

A bit further away on that pond, a male mandarin duck.

A great tit in a tree on the bank.

Mallard ducks. Male and female teal.

A coot. Two moorhens.

Now, a blue tit and a robin in the tree on the bank.

A bit later, a juvenile great cormorant flies over a canal.

A chaffinch in a tree. A buzzard in another tree.

A singing robin on a shrub.

Further, as we walk back, a marsh tit in a low tree.

A Canada goose grazes near a canal.

Finally, just before the exit, coral spot fungi growing on a fallen branch.
