A short video of a weekend birding trip to the Netherlands - just over an hour from Ely to Harwich, a relaxing cruise over the North Sea and the delights of winter birding in the Lowlands lie ahead. This trip did have the exceptional draw of a drake Spectacles Eider off Texel. A fantastic looking bird that each of us have always wanted to see but never thought we'd have the opportunity. The bird met all our expectations and we returned to some favourite spots to enjoy the spectacle of geese, eagles and Dutch winter birding.
