Bullfinch, goldfinch




 Finally I got a chance to get him on camera.

Before that, the images were unsharp, or I had no camera nearby when I saw him bathing.

Today I was on the right spot with my camera...and look at this beauty in his pink/orange feathers.

Stunning bird to watch!

Colours



 Beautiful colours of the light shimmering in an old web.

In the first unsharp photo of the web, the colours are even more sparkling.

Little wren




 The smallest of the smallest...

I hear him a lot in my garden...loudly tickering, defending his territory.

He has, so to speak the loudest voice when it comes to protecting what is his.

When you're small you need that I think. Letting hear your voice you're there.

I love this little birdy...extremely quick and fast and so now and then he takes a quick bath.

Swallowtail





 It has been a while, that I really saw him again. This time it was n't just a glimpse. He took all the time to drink from the Nepeta flowers. I did n't know he likes those flowers. I only knew they love the Foeniculum (Fennel) and carrots. Anyway, he sat there for a long time, flew away several times, to come back again and again. 

That was a real treat for me, as I photographed and filmed this butterfly from caterpillar to cocoon and the coming out, back in 2007 

This is such a beauty, living mostly in the southern parts of Europe, but when summers are hot, they also migrate higher up north to the Netherlands.

Mickey




 Last week I took care for a beautiful blue-eyed cat, Mickey.

It took a while that he felt safe in a house he did not know. The first days he found shelter high on the stairs, where it was dark and safe. As the days progressed he felt more safe to come out of hiding and found a safe high spot, on a cabinet, so that he had a perfect overview on my garden... 

Yesterday he went back to his owner. Such a beautiful lovely cat.
