Apparently, it is a trip that a nature organisation (Natuurpunt) organises every year on the 1st of May. It was the first time that I joined in and saw so many bird fanatics together. Amazing how these people know what bird it is only from hearing him/her whistle.
And there were SO many birds whistling that I had a hard time to differ one from another let alone knowing which bird it was. The die hards hear a bird and then just look through their binoculars and find them at such speed that it's simply amazing.
It was such a lovely experience and all together there were about 72 different birds seen, heard and counted. I also enjoyed walking that early and see the dew over the fields and dew drops on the flowers. I love seeing and hearing nature wake up...
Here are some impressions:

ReplyDeleteLook at the cameras they all have!!!!! My husband does the birdwatching thing. And also gets up at 4am to go sit in the woods behind our house and watch deer, wild board and all sorts of birds. I ussually join in later with tea LOL but it is fun. It is early but it's another world that early, fascinating.
