Again, I couldn’t quite see what was happening at the time. I saw the cormorant bursting out of the water and carrying something in its beak. Had I witnessed the end of a successful hunt?
At home on the larger screen it became clear: I had caught a male cormorant collecting nesting material, which he brings to his mate who in turn builds the nest. In other words: She demands, he supplies.
And you have never heard of privacy laws?!!

Reminiscing about the past year, I found many quotes meaning “never look back” (from such notable thinkers as Justin Bieber and the like). I don’t agree with this sentiment.
Then there were the quotes that “one needs to look back to go forward” from a quite few more renowned men and women. I rather agree – how can one learn anything without looking at it? – yet I’m also worried about stagnation and lack of drive.
And then I found this uncredited maxim:
It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare.
Who is going to tell him?

I hope the weather will pick up. I know this is typical for November and I should be grateful for normal weather but it is kind of depressing.
