Black-headed Gull at river side Amer NL 1005 AM 230427_0590

Black Headed Gull at riverside. Ambient recording. Amer river in the Netherlands on an April morning. The wind in the reeds. More birds in background. Cyclist rides over a steel cattle grid. High altitude plane.

View on busy Amer river with in the distance waters named ‘Zuidergat van den Visschen’ and ‘Noordergat van den Visschen’. Boerenplaat is an island you see at the other side of the Amer river. As you can see the waves of the ships are broken the stone breakwaters that run 30 meters from the side in the longitudinal direction of the river. The reeds, plants and trees act as second breakwaters. Ultimately, the dike I sit on is the protection against high water in the delta.
The last flood disaster of 1953 killed 1,836 people. The evacuation involved 72,000 people. 47,000 cattle and 140,000 poultry drowned.
