This video was recorded in the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen nature reserve, end of November 2012.
It shows whooper swans from the north, wintering here amidst ducks and coots in canals. Some of the swans are young (the greyish ones). On the snowy bank, a red fox.
The maker of the video is Alex Molin.
