Cooold 2013-03-17 This is the companion to yesterday's shot. Taken yesterday morning. Temperatures well below freezing at night, around freezing during the day. By Tuesday we are predicted to have balmy spring temperatures again, but right now it is too cold to stretch out anything or worry about attracting a mate. Just fluff up and find a sunny spot.
Heron
"I hope the water isn't cold" 2013-03-19 I *told* you I would be posting heron pictures. Here is another. With a laughing cormorant in the background. Update: Not a GBH (Great Blues are only west of the Atlantic) but a GH (Grey Heron - usual in Europe). In a picture without scale (like this one), they are easy to confuse. The GH is a lot smaller.
