In May the weather is nice, and then the animals, plants and I are happy again. The photos are from Bergschenhoek, Voornes Duin and Oostvoorne, and Zevenhuizerplas. The most special photo was that of a bittern. There are often bitterns in the reeds, which results in at least 20 photographers with beautiful lenses. By the way, nice bird species are often seen in the area.
