Grote Zilverreiger
Als laatste dit jaar een kort blogje met wat foto van een Zilverreiger. Deze foto’s zijn op dezelfde dag genomen als het Torenvalkje. Deze zilverreiger liep voor de hut wat heen en weer te zoeken naar wat eten. Op een gegeven ogenblik begon de zon te schijnen en kwam de reiger tussen de zon en […]
