The Common Buzzard is clearly looking for a friend. He calls very loudly above my head.
City park morning in February. Birds in grove of shrubs and trees on the water edge of a small lake Engelermeer near ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.

Close by are only some local polder roads. Behind me is the village of Engelen. Straight ahead is the Haverleij, modern flats in fake castles. You have a view of the River Meuse there. I don't.
On the left about 2 km away is the city of 's-Hertogenbosch with the A2 motorway, but you don't hear much of that.
Beavers have also been occurring in this area for some time. The picture shows the gnawed-off tree stump sticking out of the ground to the left of the microphone. It's just unfortunate that people let their dogs run loose in this area. The beavers are very afraid of dogs.
More here today / More during the years around this lake Engelermeer
