Thematic Photographic 349 is Wildlife.
Here's some of the wildlife I saw in Europe this northern summer...
The heron is my new header photo above.
He was near Volendam, in The Netherlands:
This swan was one of the many on the canals in Amsterdam
and these were in Bruges, one of my favourite cities ever
You may already have seen this Canadian Goose in an earlier post.
It gave me the eye at Leeds Castle.
At Dunrobin Castle, in Scotland, I saw a fascinating demonstration
by the resident falconer. There were falcons, hawks, and an owl - brilliant.

Love it.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the no longer wild camel which makes me sad.
Me too. I decided to take it out.
DeleteThose are wonderful waterbird pics, love the new header, Alexia.

Thanks thunder. I did see other wild creatures, but by chance this post is entirely bird-filled!
DeleteI like Heron's also. We have a lot of them here, where I live. Also, soon the Canada geese will come south to the valley for the winter, in huge V shaped flocks. Won't be long now. They take over the fields. Some of the farmers have goose cannons that make loud booms intermittently, supposed to scare off the flocks, so they don't eat their newly planted seed.
ReplyDeleteHerons are beautiful birds. We have them in New Zealand - there is a very rare white heron, which I have never seen.
DeleteAnd the Canadian geese have made it all the way here, too.
Lovely collection of wildlife shots. The heron and the owls are special for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob. The owl was just beautiful; I had never seen one up close before, and it was a very special experience.
