Flycatcher and sparrowhawk

This video is about a spotted flycatcher nest in a garden in the Netherlands.

So, now a report on Monday 21 April; last of my four days in Slangenburg nature reserve, after my earlier reports.

Early in the morning, a squirrel crosses the road from the deer park to the trees.

We continue to the marsh. The Egyptian geese with their chicks are still there. This time, with two grey lag geese for company; no common sandpipers or roe deer this time.

At the next marsh, four northern lapwings are driving a buzzard away.

A sparrowhawk flies near the third marsh. A spotted flycatcher in a tree.

In the afternoon, a blackcap sings in a tree close to the deer park.
