This 2014 video is about Polders Poelgeest nature reserve in the Netherlands and its bird life.
I went there again on 26 March 2017.
Near the entrance, grey lag geese and tufted ducks swimming.
Black-headed gulls. A coot on the bank. Northern lapwings flying.
On top of the windmill, great cormorants resting.
Many jackdaws flying.
A swimming great crested grebe in the southern lake.
In the northern lake, over a hundred black-tailed godwits standing; sometimes flying around. Probably just returned from Africa. Good to see them back!
Three shelducks. Shoveler ducks.
Mute swans. A gadwall couple.
Two Egyptian geese land.
Two avocets.
This is an avocet video.
In the eastern part of the lake, near the railway, many teal whistling softly. A male reed bunting sings. Chiffchaff sound.
A snipe. Good at hiding, but we still see it.
A grey heron. A moorhen swims.
A northern lapwing drives a magpie away.
A mallard couple. A chaffinch sings.
We go back. Along the west side of the southern lake, barnacle geese. And oystercatchers.
Finally, a special bird. A male bluethroat, probably just returned from spring migration, sings in a reedbed.
This is a bluethroat video.
