Holland 2016 - 8 Stonechats (Saxicola torquatus, Roodborsttappuit)

The Stonechats are spring and autumn visitors to Kyushu and I usually see their Siberian cousins around Fukuoka. The migrating juveniles are already quite strong and mature.
Here in the Netherlands I got to see a fledgeling. Cute!!! Straight from the cornfield:

In another field, also near corn:

There seemed to be quite a few around

In the same fields we encountered a family of Roe deer.

Holland 2016 - 7 Goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis, Putter)

July, a little too early for apples. The fruit trees were full and some apples had fallen, but they were not edible yet. The Goldfinches stayed around, giving them a try every now and then.

I remember their nick name Distel vink and hoped for one to perch on a thistle, but these don't seem to be the right kind. I had to do with the butterflies.
