Description

Hi Guys,

Went to the Polder Arkemheen (Dutch nature reserve) today together with my cousin. This place is well known for it's Black-tailed Godwitts and Common Redshanks allthough both species are really threatened over here.

Here's one of the BTGW's we saw today and wich was giving us a loud welcome!

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
