   Today’s waddle was in nature reserve ‘Lusthof de Haeck’ near the Nieuwkoopse Plassen.
   
   It was wonderful to hear and see the mixed-species foraging flocks in bushes and trees.
   
   And I was delighted to see the winterguest Fieldfare in large flocks again. Sat down for a while to observe flocks coming and going. And a sparrowhawk startling a flock while trying to catch a Fieldfare.
   
   In a more open area I saw a fight between common kestrels and carrion crows. Will post a video in a reply.
   
   Among others I saw a beautiful stork and cranes (probably escaped) in the fields.
