The Netherlands is a birding country par excellence, thanks to its varied landscapes—from coast and woodland to peat meadows and heathland. Birds are everywhere, but where are the best places to watch and photograph them? Where can you find that one species that has been on your wish list for so long? This book answers those questions and many more.
You can read how to photograph birds in the Bird Photography Handbook. Besides knowledge of photographic techniques, two other factors determine success in bird photography: knowledge of species and knowledge of locations.
The latter is not straightforward, because it takes a great deal of time—time that brings not only successes but also many disappointments. An area with plenty of potential can prove difficult, or a sought-after species may be hard to spot.
Dozens of bird photographers have pooled their extensive knowledge in this book to help you get started. The authors take you to their favorite areas. Their experience enables them to explain exactly where to go for a particular species of bird, at what time of year, and under which conditions you have the best chance of success.
Birds remain free to move around. A meadow mown just a little too early, a pond that dries out during a prolonged drought, or strong winds can mean that birds do not appear—or appear in a slightly different place.
