Thanks! These are even more common in Belgium and Holland in the summer and always pretty to photograph :-)
Many thanks for the nice comments! I have also found very special the blue eye patches. It looks like a cat's face to me also :-)
Beautiful, Marta. I'd stay very far from those feline eyes, if I was a bird...
