Watching birds at the Kampina

It was nice weather, so we decided to go to the Kampina again. A very nice place to go, quiet and with many lakes. There we a large number of different birds. And that already in February.
Here's a duck couple, the male was courting with the female all the time.....







Here duck is landing.











And here the duck has landed...





Here's a Cormorant (aalscholver) flying around....











We saw a great egret "grote zilverreiger" on the hunt for fresh fish.











This is a very nice view on the lake, just when the sun was coming through the clouds.






Here's a very nice great crested grebe "fuut". I photographed it far away with my 300mm lens.










A "koolmees".











And a Nuthatch "boomklever".











We saw 2 Canadian geese landing. They were making a lot of noise while doing that!










Here it is landing!











The geese have landed!











And we saw large groups of tufted ducks (kuifeenden).....
