Yesterday I went for a birdwatching tour through Zuid-Beveland. My first stop was a small piece of salt marsh near the 's-Gravenpolder pumping station. There I lay under my camouflage cloth while the wading birds, driven by the rising water, came closer and closer. It was foggy, so the images are quite colorless, but I couldn't change that. Suddenly, however, a boa was standing next to me who made it clear to me that I was not allowed to enter the area. No entry, not because of a prohibition sign but because of the fence on the dike that I took for a 'normal' sheep fence. I have regularly seen people paddling or taking photos there (on the salt marsh where I was lying), and so I thought I was allowed to lie there. Not so. Whoever is wrong must sit on the blisters and so I walked back up the dike with lead in my boots. Fortunately, I got off with a warning. That's how it can go. So it was the first time that I lay there, and also the last time. Unfortunately, because it was really fantastic there under my camouflage net.
