Spring ??

This morning I went to the small park near Euromast here in Rotterdam and it seems spring is here!

I shall go with the Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) on this fellow... but I could be wrong because its very difficult to say it apart from the Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus).

I am still amazed at how close these Common Coots (Fulica atra) in Europe let you go very close to them completely opposite to the ones I see near my house in India.

The Magpie (Pica pica) taking a stroll down the recently bloomed field in the park.

And the wise old Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea) of the park

Check out his breeding plumage.

Was also lucky to catch this really small (yet really loud) fellow – the Wren ( Troglodytes troglodytes ).
