Meeliften op de rug van je moeder.../Hitchhiking on your mother's back...

            Deze foto is gemaakt in Polder Poelgeest.

De polders zijn ingericht als moeras- en rietgebied.
Hierdoor is het nu een waar vogelparadijs.
Futenkuikens liften vaak met een van de ouders mee op de rug. Jonge futen zien er bijzonder leuk uit met hun streepjespak en rode petje. 
Helemaal aandoenlijk is dat ze vaak ‘meevaren’ op de rug van hun vader of moeder. 
Dat is niet omdat de fuutjes nog niet kunnen zwemmen, want dat kunnen ze al meteen. 
Het is voor de veiligheid. 
Want zowel van bovenaf (reigers) als van onderaf (snoeken) loert er gevaar op de éénhaps donskuikens. 
Gezellig is het natuurlijk ook.


This photo was taken in Polder Poelgeest.

The polders are arranged as swamp and reed areas.
As a result, it is now a true bird paradise.
Grebe chicks often hitch a ride on the back with one of the parents. Young grebes look particularly nice with their striped suit and red cap.
It is especially touching that they often 'sail along' on the back of their father or mother.
That's not because the grebes can't swim yet, because they can do that right away.
It's for safety.
Because both from above (herons) and from below (pikes) there is danger lurking on the one-bite down chicks.
Of course it is also fun.
