Grutto! De Reis van Onze Nationale Vogel plot

Ruben Smit and his crew follow the black-tailed godwit on its journey from Senegal via Portugal to the Netherlands and Estonia. Everywhere the birds have to fight to survive. Both in the Netherlands and in the various countries on the migration, the black-tailed godwit appears to have a masterly adaptability. From rice cultivation in the mangroves of Africa, the rice fields of Franko to the Dutch flowery grasslands; he managed to find them. But changing agricultural systems and climate change are pushing this opportunistic bird to the limit.
