EARLY MORNING


Sunrise 07.12 - Sunset 20.16
0°C



This early morning there were many birds to see, but the first animals I encountered were Roe Deer. They were foraging at the edge of a forest and a field, in the shadow where ground frost still covered the field. It must be a cold meal.
At the top of a tree a Song Thrush filled the air with a beautiful song of nature.
In the forest the early sunlight pierced past the trees illuminating the mosses on the ground. Some woodpeckers flew by. And when I left the forest behind quit a few larks were scattered on the plain, some on the ground some in the air singing and claiming their territory. At the edge some Wagtails were examining the ground, digged out by Wild Boar
On a peace of farmland a Hen Harrier and a Common Kestrel were hunting for prey and where farmland passes over into heather a Stonechat claimed its peace of heather. What an amazing early morning with so much to see, in spite of the cold, spring is here.
