Birds, deer, fox, pike

Yesterday, friends were in the Amsterdamse waterleidingduinen nature reserve near the west coast in the Netherlands.

They saw a kingfisher. Also many ducks, including tufted duck, pochard, shoveler, and goosander. Also, some dabchicks diving.

Some scores of fallow deer.

In a small canal, a big northern pike, standing almost still.

Just before departure, a fox showed itself on the parking lot.

Prehistoric red deer in the Netherlands: here.
