This is a red-necked grebe video.
After 1 May 2015, 2 May 2015 near Dwingelderveld national park, in Westerveld local authority. This is one of few places in the Netherlands where one may see red-necked grebes.
In Dwingelderveld, cranes nest as well. Photos: here.
We did not see red-necked grebes or cranes on that 2 May; but we did see other beautiful birds.
Early in the morning, curlew sound. A chaffinch sings. Sounds of song thrush, willow warbler, cuckoo, robin, chiffchaff and wood pigeon.
Of course, the blue tits are present again.
A great tit in a tree.
Near Kraloo village, three roe deer in a meadow.
This is a 3 May 2015 video of roe deer near Kraloo.
Grey lag geese in a lake.
Near the hide, male and female tufted ducks swim. And a black-necked grebe couple in love with each other. They dive often.
Two hobbies flying around.
Two Egyptian geese on a bank.
Black-headed gulls and coots swimming.
We arrive around the Holtveenslenk lake. Photos of that area are here. And here.
Here is another Holtveenslenk photo.
Again, a black-necked grebe couple.
A grey heron flies past.
A tree pipit in a tree.
A bit further in the Holtveenslenk lake, a Canada goose swims. And a great crested grebe; a male common pochard; and a tufted duck couple.
Two white storks fly overhead.
So do two buzzards.
A little grebe calls.
West of the Holtveenslenk, a white wagtail in a tree.
A yellow wagtail cleanses its feathers.
Back at the hide. A female marsh harrier lands in a tree.
The hobbies fly again.
We continue, to Ruinen village.
A redstart in a tree. Below the tree, yellow archangel flowers.
Just east of Ruinen, the Kloosterveld part of the national park. A northern wheatear.
A curlew wades in shallow water.
Three barn swallows drinking together.
A male and a female yellowhammer.
