Hi Don,
Although Don & I lived for 3 yrs. in Amsterdam, we were not birders at
the time (didn't even have binocs!), unfortunately. So I can only tell
you that we saw lots of Oystercatchers and Lapwings in the fields, as
well as many Herons which we thought were Gt. Blues, but it turns out
must have been Greys since they don't have Gt. Blues. At that time there
was a nesting colony of herons down on the waterfront not far from the
central train station. First time we ever saw herons up in trees. We
were always looking for storks, but never saw one. Thought we might
have heard a Nightingale singing very beautifully at dusk once, but were
unable to track it down.
I'm sure you'll see lots of water birds.
Have a wonderful trip!
Lois
