    Can we change this title to the official name: The Netherlands?;-) most mammalwatching will probably take place outside of ‘Holland’, being only two provinces of the twelve 🙂

      Done and I had no idea. SO thanks for the geography lesson! Is Belgium one of the provinces too? 🙂

        Belgium and The Netherlands are 2 different countries but both are in the European Union.

          Thanks Jean. I was joking. I did know that … I promise I did!

            In the good old days they used to be a province Jon. Imagine the listing possibilities. I would have like a Bowhead on my national list 🙂

            Haha …never say never. Bowheads in Holland or recolonization are both possibilities I guess!
