Holland 2016 - 5 The Weerribben

Giethoorn and nature reserve the Weerribben are best visited by boat. Great for a social event!





In the wetlands: Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea, Purperreiger)




Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica, Blauwborst)


Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus, Rietgors)



And to everybody's joy a very friendly family of Mute Swans (Cygnus olor, Knobbelzwaan)
  




Far away in one of the water fields was a  Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus, Fuut) carrying babies on its back.



Every country has children who like catching water creatures during the holidays
