Last Monday evening it was nice summer evening with exceptional yellow light, probably due to the humid air. So I could not resist to get my gear out in search of the Purple Heron. I have spotted at least one here (while other people have spotted several).

I could not resist the next day after my previous visit, see previous post, to go back to the "Groene Jonker" with sunny weather at sunset. Although the bird activity was low, I still managed to get some cool "yellow sunset" shots.

Recently I discovered (pointed out to me by Leo Durghorn) a "newly" developed nature reserve near where I live. This used to be agricultural and farming area that is now "given back to nature" with the intent to serve as a retreat for (water)birds.
