Holland 2016 - 9 around Wageningen again

Cannot leave without seeing at least one Robin ( Erithacus rubecula, Roodborst) I wish I could spend more time with them.


An evening visit to the Blauwe Kamer. There is a restaurant that serves decent food and it's possible to eat outside on a wooden terrace overlooking a part of the wetlands bordering the river Rijn. Summer evenings are long and the sun didn't set till 9 pm. There is always something to see.



Holland has at least 3 different kinds of deer. This kind seems to be the Fallow deer, but I'm not sure. 



Pheasant, (Phasianus colchicus, Fazant)


Returning for a morning walk on another day I saw these 3 young ones 





On the riverbank of the Rijn: Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus, Nijlgans)
