In April 2026 we
made a boattrip with
Martijn de Jonge,
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 March 2026 we waited for the moon to
rise behind the Leonide mill at the town of Anna Paulowna.
It was a clear evening, with little wind.

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.

In October 2025, the Schagen Photoclub
visted the province of Friesland, with its many picturesque
villages and the old "Woudagemaal", a steam-driven pumping
station that was built in 1920 and is still active (if needed).
It is now also a Unesco world heritage site and open for guided
tours when not in action. It is an ideal site for some 360
panos; the
Boilerhouse,
the
Main Hall
and the
Outside
(backside).

What's the plan?
Later this year we intend to visit the Baltic states (birds, landscape)
and Italy (butterflies).
