p.1 #1 · Out in the Polder #1

Finally I had some decent light. (At least at the beginning of this weekend) So I went to the nearby polder searching for birds.
A polder is land that was taken from the sea by building dikes. The main trick is to keep getting the rainwater out. But you all knew that already.

Thanks for looking. Comments are always appreciated.

Wonderful images, Chris.
Hey, when you were out in the polder, did you see any scary geists? (Please remember that all puns are basically the cheapest form of attempted humor

).

Thank you Eric. I probably have to give a little bit of credit on the whites to my camera.

Thank you Charlie. Poltergeist

Sounds like a scary movie from the eighties.
I didn't reach any geists because my way was suddenly blocked by some watchmen in very scary disguise. Hope you can handle it.
