5th of May 2013 excursion in Holland with "landschap Noord Holland"

The 5th of May 2013 , a glorious day. We did go on an excursion in the north of Holland on a boat to see birds and nature from very close by in the Eilandspolder. http://www.landschapnoordholland.nl
It was/is breeding time in Holland, so we did see a lot of birds on nest, protecting their nest and singing of course.
A pleasant small group of enthoussiastic people and the guide and driver of the boat were great!
I did make some pictures, to get an impression...
In 4 weeks time there will be even more activity according the guide Ger Holman, I recommend to go and join one of the excursions in the Eilandspolder or another area .
When I am in Holland next year, I will join again!
