What a surprising walk...so close to home and seen so much: largest colony of black terns in the Netherlands, spoonbill pair, harrier, purple heron, reed warbler and two sea eagles to top it off.. a bit lost but they have a huge hunting area

It's cold, wet, windy, mud, lots of unpaved but wonderful walking weather. Not the most beautiful route but challenging with all that mud.

A walk on a gray day, with a lot of mud paths, it seemed like I was sometimes on slippery ice 😁.

But wonderful panoramic views. And walking along water is always fun!
