Good Weather, Bad Photos
We do have quite a few grey herons living in the area and a lots more storks (now all gone for the winter). And for a few days in autumn there are a few great egrets stopping over on their migratory route. And I spotted one yesterday! Both those birds didn’t let me get close and I just managed to get a blurred photo of the grey taking off. I am always in awe about their wingspan, so I am including this last shot as well.

He Was Waiting for the Ferry
While waiting myself for the ferry across the river Neckar in Ladenburg I watched this young grey heron walking up and down the bank, intently watching the ferry on the other side of the river, unperturbed by the cars and people waiting with him. He flew off before the ferry landed, though.

Flying into the Weather
The heron is not flying into a storm but into uncertainty. Will there be sunshine? Will there be clouds? Or a storm, after all?
