Before that, a chaffinch singing early in the morning.

Damselflies, dragonflies, plants, kingfisher in national park
This photo shows a male red-eyed damselfly on a water lily pad in the Jurries canal in Weerribben national park in the Netherlands, on 31 July 2017. As this blog mentioned, we had arrived in the Weerribben the day before, on 30 July.
On the morning of 31 July, our boat had soon made a left turn from the main canal into the quieter Jurries.
On its north bank, we found the red-eyed damselfly.
And arrowhead leaves.
And flowering rush flowers.
A willow warbler sings.
Yellow water-lily flowers.
Our boat takes a left turn again, into the Tweede Bokvaart.
This April 2014 video is about a canoe in the Tweede Bokvaart.
We pass some of the many small Weerribben windmills.
Just after this Tweede Bokvaart photo, a kingfisher.
A bit further, at a landing, this male black-tailed skimmer dragonfly, and also other males and females of that species, sit down.
We go back.
These European white water lily flowers.
Two marsh harriers flying.
Close to Ossenzijl village, a buzzard flying.
In Ossenzijl, house sparrows. And barn swallows on a roof.
Our boat goes back south. At 17:30, ten snipes flying.

Butterflies, dragonflies, birds in Dutch national park
This photo shows two green-veined white butterflies mating. The photo is from a garden in Weerribben national park in the Netherlands; on 30 July 2017, the day we arrived there.
On the bank of the IJssel river near Zwolle city, we had seen Egyptian geese that day.
As we waited at the harbour of Kalenberg village, a robin sang.
In the garden, a greenfinch.
Along the bicycle trail back to Kalenberg, a sedge warbler sings.
Arrowhead flowering in the water.
Himalayan balsam flowering along the Kalenbergerpad bicycle trail.
At a place where in earlier times ducks used to be caught, called the Kloosterkooi, pondskaters in the water.
A red admiral butterfly.
We walk on a footpath. Supposedly, one needs wellingtons to walk it; but at least today it is not that muddy. A bridge crosses a small stream. Many spiders and their webs on the banks. At least one web is all the way from one bank to the opposite one.
A bit further, this female dragonfly. A common darter.
As we approach Kalenberg again, a grey heron. A meadow brown butterfly. A reed bunting.
Back at the garden. A blue tit at a feeder.
