Hi all I’m writing from the Netherlands here to see the http://www.keukenhof.nl/ displays, amazing gardens!  I wasn’t sure about the internet access but the hotel I’m currently in has free wifi, a few new birds for the year as well as a Bat (not sure what type) and 2 hares have shown up while out on the bus and when managing to do some walking, ankle tendon’s popped out a few times sadly.
Bird list from Netherlands mostly from Keukenhof:
- Blackbird
- Chaffinch
- Coot*
- Dunnock
- Egyptian Goose*
- Great Tit
- Grey Herron
- House Sparrow
- Jackdaw
- Lapwing*
- Mallard Duck
- Mute Swan
- Starling
- Swallow*
*new for the year 
Thanks to having internet access I also managed to update the Saver Scene Australia finance pages: www.saverscene.com.au/finance/ (now closed as I move into gardening as a profession) for best savings, credit cards and bank accounts.  I love having free wifi, it’s amazing just how many places in Holland have it, although I try not to be in front of my computer while travelling it’s helpful for a few things like listing birds and updating money saving websites and forums!  I hope to have time to update the UK one on Monday as i have to take time off my feet due to the torn ankle tendons.  I’ll process some pictures when back in Edinburgh to show the beauty of the Dutch gardens!
