Amsterdam Wildlife
Merel Westrik, Martin Melchers / NL, 2015 / 60 min.
Urban ecologist Martin Melchers and producer/presenter Merel Westrik show us animals, including wild ones, who have settled in town, even though sometimes you might not expect them to. Their search for animals wo have made their home in Amsterdam takes them to some very unusual places.
Martin Melchers and Merel Westrik sought out Amsterdam’s wildlife. For months they filmed the Dutch capital’s biotope. They discovered animals who have settled in the city’s strangest nooks. The two filmed flirting sand martin’s, fighting foxes, bathing kingfishers, sunbathing grass snakes, gliding peregrine falcons and other animals in Amsterdam, providing amazing footage and hilarious situations.
