While the grey herons don’t leave during winter and a couple great egrets have stayed after their flock rested here on their way south,
the storks are gone during winter.
But today, while cycling through the fields, I saw three of them.
The sun was already low and against me so I could only get a clear picture of one of them. A sure sign of approaching spring.
And to the right behind the storks there was one of the many hares out today.
They were everywhere in groups of three or four, hopping around, frolicking, play fighting. Spring can come now!

They really were – definitely nothing serious yet. No one on one.

Won’t be long. Hares can really leap into the air when they are fighting

I haven’t spotted a hare yet this year, and sadly, cranes … never

I would have missed the hares if not for the storks. They are very well camouflaged.
