Right, we don't have many in the Netherlands, but since rangers started to protect them and create spaces for nests they're doing better. Their worst enemy is ice in winter because they cannot 'fish'.

@AshishNimkar Thanks! Check out my other photo's in the Earthweek competition, I could use some 'favorites'! For instance this fox: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5479971 And this deer: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5500570
