Every man makes mistakes in his life. Me, for example, I made a mistake to go birding. By the time I made this mistake, I was only a little boy, ignorant and relatively innocent, but I still feel the consequences every single day. It costs time, money, and hours of sleep, provides others a good laugh at birthday parties and puts a huge amount of pressure on your relationship(s). If someone accidentally knows a proper medicine against this birding disease, please contact me. Meanwhile, I'm going to bore you with my birding stories, pictures and other birding-related stuff . Enjoy, and do not hesitate to leave messages or reactions!

Monday, September 5: end of vacation, start o the autumn

Sorry for the silence, but I've been rather buzy creating a new photo website after the last one was misteriously killed by my friends at Fotopic. A very short update of last week's highlights: a nice 2CY Caspian Gull ringed in Poland on Monday, a fantastic day of seawatching on Ameland on Tuesday, with 2 adult Sabine's Gulls as undisputed highlights (check trektellen.nl for the complete count), a self-(re)found Glossy Ibis in Bantpolder-oost on Thursday (the one ringed in Spain and seen in Lithuania, Sweden and some locations in NL afterwards!), a nice day at FochteloĆ«rveen on Friday, with among others birds like Raven (4!), Cranes, Great Grey Shrike (Homeyeri??), Short-toed Eagles and Black Woodpecker and Dragonflies like Common Hawker Aeshna juncea and Bog Hawker Aeshna subarctica, and last but not least a fantastic Little Bustard, found by Reinoud Vermoolen near Otterlo on Saturday.
If you're interested in the pics belonging to these highlights, please check my new website www.pbase.com/martijnbot/recent The site is still under construction, let's hope for a long and cold winter because it's a hell of a job!
