What an amazing day - part XVI
Was for my yearly Winter holiday at my parents' place in the Netherlands. On this particular day, the 27th of December, heavy snowfall was forecasted and I asked my dad if he had an an interest in going for a drive to find geese... a bit of snow would obviously have been a welcome bonus. The previous day 800 White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) were seen in the area of Dieden, a 20 minute drive from where my parents live, so that's the place we decided to 'check-out'.

There was lots of snowfall during the short trip to Dieden, and I was hoping the geese would still be there... well... YESSSS

more images will follow - got too many - and I am still getting closer and closer
