The last days of really good autumn weather or so it feels like. Its bound to change but the days recently have been sunny, quite warm for the time of year and with a nice quality of light. After a trip to the Achterhoek in the Netherlands for birding a nice stroll through the meadows here and exploring the local birds. The Achterhoek blog will be next.

It has been cloudy and raining a lot here in the west part of The Netherlands. This is a good thing for the vegetation and farmers are happy I guess. It doesn't do well for great photography when its dull and grey. However sometimes the cloudy skies will let sunlight filter through as it did the last few days. You can feel the damped air, sun light when it hits and with this the grasslands just explode.

I wanted to share this post as I was just cycling around my home town through the meadows and saw plenty of birds that arrived for the summer here. As wel as many hares and obviously the famous dutch cows and farm land. As you can see nature is everywhere, especially in spring, just go out and explore.
