National Park - New land (Flevoland, Netherlands)

During Corona lockdowns I first discovered the amazing birds and other wildlife close to home. Frequent visits to the Lepelaarplassen, Almere, resulted in amazing photos of Sea eagles, kingfishers, crested grebe, foxes and roe deer. Sea eagles I could even see and hear from my home, when geese panicked! Marker Wadden has been added in 2022.
