In May 2026 we
visited the Baltic states. The weather was mostly fine, but we
saw fewer birds than expected. Still, we we were lucky to get

in the IJsseldelta, looking for eagles, ospreys, harriers and
whatever else would come our way. Below, a picture of a crow
harrassing an eagle.

In February 2026, we visited the
Hoenderdaell Zoo at Anna Paulowna (in North Holland province)
and saw the Canadian Eagle Owl - picture below. This is not one
of our usual pics in-the-wild, but for such a beautiful bird we
make an exception. Renee won first prize with this pic at our
local Schagen Photoclub. Peter won 2nd prize with the picture of
kids at the edge of a swimmingpool - upside down.
