Around 11 am the Arend chose the airspace and that time was not randomly chosen. “It has to do with warming up and thermal, you want to use as much as possible of rising warm air,” Sinnema explains. Where the bird has been released, she prefers to keep secret, To take unwanted spikes from the neighborhood.
Out of sight
The company that could be there remained consciously small. Among others, the main carers of Fûgelhelling were there, and Nina van Hest-Schouten from the Wildopvang in Krommenie. Sinnema: “You never know what is happening and whether he is going to fly. You want to save him stress. Sometimes I doubt, because you grant it that other people see it too.”
The snake eagle is gone, but the contact does not stop there. The bird has received a channel. “For many birds it is out of sight, from the heart,” says Sinnema. “In this case it becomes clear what happens, how he continues his journey. That is very exciting and very fun.”
