Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus- spring coulors - Nikon D70 with Maksutov 1000mm mirror

In the nature reserve "De Geul", I found this one. A Reed Bunting.

I was looking to find a  Rufescent tiger Heron, I heard it, but didn't see one...

Later it turned out I was lucky, ONLY JUST because of that!

This small image illustrates my "bad luck" that day, I was crawling to spot a Spoonbill. Got it?

I made these two photo's lying in the mud, I spent hours there, looking like a hog... enjoying a great advantage of mirror lenses, their price... and durability...

Ringed plovers - Charadrius Hiaticula - Nikon D70 with maksutov 1000mm mirror

These little ones stole my heart,  a group of Ringed Plovers..

I just couldn"t  get enough of them..
