Dag 3: Rustdag in het hotel

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The weather is the same: mostly rain, with the occasional half hour of almost dry. I start to understand the hotel: the paths to the restaurant are covered everywhere. Of course there are also some birds in the garden, but strangely enough there are no feeders. I walk to a small park nearby, which turns out to be a golf course. The houses are matching. Via the maintenance entrance I walk around the golf course. I quickly see a car stop at the entrance, I thought I would be chased away quickly. But it is a birdwatcher who gives me tips. The maintenance team is friendly, but I don't see many birds. Via a small park with ducks I walk back to the hotel. When it is half an hour dry in the afternoon, I make another attempt at the flowering trees at the duck park. Unfortunately the birds prefer the flowers at the top, but it still produces a hummingbird and a warbler.
