Het Zwin 17-02-2011.



After a year's absence it was about time to bring a visit to Nature reserve 'Het Zwin' again. Main goal was to photograph geese in flight - seen from the embankment - with a nice faded backdrop...

However, ZENO's (LIFE-natuurproject: Zwinduinen Ecologische Natuur Ontwikkeling) largest objective - repairing the micro-relief of the 'Kleyne Vlakte' (the most southern part of the nature reserve) - has taken care of the excavation of some large pools south of the entrance, and it seems like all geese prefer this new site instead!

Nevertheless, got some shots of the White Storks: Click here.

Other birds spotted: Avocet, Blue Tit, Chaffinch, Cormorant, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Great Tit, Jackdaw, Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Wren.
