In this forest we find many bird species. The great spotted woodpecker searches for food on the dead trees. The open heathland and the forest edges are a popular hunting ground for the sparrowhawk, which mainly targets birds.

Today we did a short walk with the hiking friend in the Kloesebos. We both entered a mushroom challenge on the "obsidentify" app and were able to double our score. It was a wonderful search for fungi and mushrooms ... few km's, but super mindfulness!
