The real city jungle 2

This male goose, was swimming near the nest. The female is still sitting on the eggs.

After a few minutes he putted his head on the water, and hardly moved from that point.

I have know idea why, I can imagine he plays dead and hopes we loose interest. If somebody knows why please put the answer in a comment.

This little fly was sitting on the back of my house. Turns out it came with the fertilized soil in my garden.

It looked funny and I had no idea what species it was. During my search I found out, they are also seen as a pest. Specially when the sewage under your house breaks, he and his friends visit you.

This sparrow is "the gatekeeper" sitting on a fence behind the office. This is the only shot I got before it flew away again.

But this picture shows my project, exposing nature in the city.

Macro Holland

I love to shoot macro picture's because then the scope can be so much bigger. With my macro objective I can find so manny subjects in a small area.

Unlike with taking bird pictures when you have to search a wide area to find, a few species. With my macro objective I walk into the garden, and I can always find some species of insects.

Like here on the right this fly was sitting on one of the containers.

Offcourse I also go further away to spot different insects. But when I go to the park I can always spot some butterflies, grasshoppers or dragonflies.

On the left a male "Sympetrum vulgatum" the dutch name would be "Steenrode heidelibel - Stonered heatherdragonfly". When you see this one you wouldn't say red. But unlike the males the females have a nice red color.

We have 2 species that look a lot like each other, but you can tell by the legs. This species has black-yellow legs, the other one just black.

These dragonflies are always an interesting subject,

because of there complicated bodies.

On the right an other male "Sympetrum vulgatum",

this one was hanging frozen in the grass. I accidentally spotted this one, while looking for mushrooms.
