There are several nutcrackers in the Netherlands this autumn, which is unusual. In Rutten in the Noordoostpolder, one has already been in a small villa neighborhood for a few days, so we decide to give it a try. The bird doesn't show itself at first, but eventually allows itself to be photographed well. The bird is not impressed by the group of photographers.
