Webcam with live images of White-tailed Eagle's nest in Oostvaardersplassen

If you want to see live images from a White-tailed Eagle's nest with one young bird (Sea Eagle or Zeearend in Dutch, belonging to the family of Bald Eagles), just click here. The Dutch national forestry, who owns the reserve Oostvaardersplassen, has put up a webcam that allows the nesting eagles to be followed. Sometimes you can't see any images due to too many web visitors - don't give up if that's the case, just try again! Not when it is night here in the Netherlands, of course ;-)

"On May 22, 2006 it was announced that a pair of White-tailed Eagles was breeding in a nature reserve Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. They arrived naturally, not as a reintroduction. This is the first time the bird has bred in the Netherlands in modern times. Early in 2007 the eagles returned to their nest." (Wikipedia)

Yesterday I went to Oostvaardersplassen with my colleagues from Ark Boeken Publishing House (our yearly day out / fun day for team building). On this blog and on my photo blog I will upload some pics soon. Stay tuned!

You can also have a look at the images from Google by clicking on this word: "Oostvaardersplassen" And if you just can't get enough - enjoy these fantastic pics taken in this nature reserve by photographer Vincent Wigbels (see also this site and this information in English)
For some more exciting bird news from my own street - see below!
And you can see many birds on webcams with live feeds here
No Privacy for birds, I'm afraid... On this website called 'Beleef de lente' (Experience Spring) you can watch 6 different birds and their nests and you can listen to them too! (Falcons, Owls, Storks and Swallows). Double click on the images on this page if you want to switch over to full screen. Press Escape if you want to return to the standard page.

God loves us

Have you ever wondered why God gives so much? We could exist on far less. He could have left the world flat and grey; we wouldn’t have known the difference. But he didn’t. He splashed orange in the sunrise and cast the sky in blue. And if you love to see geese as they gather, chances are you’ll see that too. Did he have to make the squirrel’s tail furry? Was he obliged to make the birds sing? And the funny way that chickens scurry or the majesty of thunder when it rings? Why give a flower fragrance? Why give food its taste? Could it be he loves to see that look upon your face?

I do not condemn theologians wholesale, but it is unfortunately the fashion in Western thinking to doubt and deny everything. I protest this tendency. I never advise anyone to consult theologians, because all too often they have completely lost all sense of spiritual reality. They can explain Greek words and all that, but they spend too much time among their books and not enough time with the Master in prayer. It is not that I oppose all education, but education without life is certainly dangerous. You must stop examining spiritual truths like dry bones! You must break open the bones and take in the life-giving marrow.

Oswald Chambers

In the Bible clouds are always associated with God. Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. If there were never any clouds in our lives, we would have no faith. "The clouds are the dust of His feet" (Nahum 1:3). They are a sign that God is there. What a revelation it is to know that sorrow, bereavement, and suffering are actually the clouds that come along with God! God cannot come near us without clouds— He does not come in clear-shining brightness. (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, July 29th)
