Stork, Over Old Rice Field

Stork, (Over) Old Rice Fields

There is no shot of the rice fields, just the Stork fly by. However, I was on a dike between the marshes and old rice field. Here 99% of all stork shots are flying in the other direction.

He surprised me and I almost didn’t take any shots.

He continued going in the ‘wrong’ direction ultimately landing in the back end of the marsh. Where of course there is no access.
