Very Nice series Fred
They apparently missed Haarlem where they normally enjoy the spring. Particularly like #6 |

An amazing encounter very well photographed!
Very strange but also photogenic birds, probably rare in your country

Great selection Fred, I see them occasionally but I don't think I've ever seen one in a tree. For me #5.

Thanks guys!
They can be seen frequently in the Netherlands, but in certain places only. Their appearance (en nesting) in the city centre is fairly rare and attracted some activity amongst bird watchers. |
