Image:(Un)expected flying visitor in my white garden
November is (in the north of Belgium) an unusual month to have a decent amount of snow. Yesterday however about 12 cm (5") of snow covered everything and turned the world in a idyllic place. As we usually get the first snow in January-February, this was a treat for kids and grown-ups alike (besides the unfortunate drivers, getting stuck (or worse) on the road).

Working at home for a change I noticed to my delight that a Blue Heron (Blauwe reiger, Ardea cinerea, Gray Heron ?), was standing at the border of my pond. Most Blue herons fly to the warm south (the Mediterranean), but some stick around, and try to survive.
For once it wasn't shy, on the contrary, even arrogant.
So, before scaring it away,
as I don't want it to eat all my fish ;-),
I had the opportunity to fetch my camera
and take some pictures:
