What a beautiful bird is the wheatear. A summer visitor in the Netherlands. Found in dune areas or polders. In any case, it likes to sit on the ground or low to the ground.
I photographed this male in the Nieuwe Driemanspolder in South Holland. He gave me plenty of time to capture him from different angles. This picture is my favourite. Meder because he is here in the grass and thus on the ground. where he likes to hang out
Nature in the Netherlands is beautiful and photographing especially, birds has made me realise this more and more. It has made me look with different eyes at the diversity of fauna in the Netherlands. And partly because of this, I was able to (re)discover the many species our country has to offer. It has opened up a new world for me.
This picture deserves a place on the wall of someone with a soft spot for birds, nature or who just likes this picture. Who knows, maybe this photo will spark more interest in Dutch nature.
