After my visit to the studio of sculptor Herbert Nouwens, on 25 July I went to nature reserve Baggerputten near Slochteren.
This Dutch video is about hornets in the Baggerputten reserve.
House martins on the studio roof. Greenfinch sound.
A grey heron flies past. A chaffinch sings.
Near a field, barn swallows and a kestrel flying.
From a Baggerputten tree, a chiffchaff sings.
Red-eyed damselfly sitting on a water-lily leaf.
Two peacock butterflies, one red admiral butterfly.
A buzzard flying.
A meadow brown butterfly.
A bit further along the footpath, a small heath butterfly.
A black-tailed skimmer male dragonfly sits down on the footpath, still further.
As we walk back, yellowhammer sound. Swifts calling. Near the studio, a goldfinch sings from a coniferous tree.
