This year I went to Marken for the second time. Last year I was there in May. A bit late in the meadow bird season. So this year, I went earlier. And then you will see that the period is a bit colder. But a little cold is not bad to be able to experience this: almost 24 hours in the middle of the birds! Sleeping with the sound of your sleeping spot being broken every moment by a pair of black-tailed godwits, lapwings or barnacle geese. There were even familiar faces: the pair of white wagtails that had nested in the enclosure last year was there again! This year, there were also a few canoes and a few ruffs. But they were too far away to photograph them.
