In my first (and possibly last) mini-thread offering health and lifestyle tips from nature, I present: Exercise with !

First, try to touch your toes.

Next, a bit of gentle leg stretching. That feels better already, doesn't it?

A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) standing on a branch, facing towards the right with its left leg stretched out towards the rear, and its left wing stretched downward; in the background the leaves of irises and rushes, and a couple of yellow iris (or Yellow Flag) flowers can be seen. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white with hints of yellow on the lower back, and there are plumes on the head with many more at the bottom of the chest and the lower back. Its eye is a pale colour with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, with hints of blue on this one, especially at the base; an area from the beak up to and immediately around the eye is also blueish in colour. The legs are black, but the feet are yellow.

    And now, in the second part of Exercise With , let's try something trickier: touching your head with your foot. Without falling over.

    Finally... Oh. Maybe don't try this one at home. Especially if someone is standing behind you...

    A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) standing on a branch, its body facing towards us and slightly to the left. Its wings are raised above its body, and the head and neck are outstretched and pointing downward towards the left; the beak is open; in the background the leaves of irises and rushes can be seen. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white with hints of yellow on the lower back, and there are plumes on the head with many more at the bottom of the chest and the lower back. Its eye is a pale colour with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, with hints of blue on this one, especially at the base; an area from the beak up to and immediately around the eye is also blueish in colour. The legs are black, but the feet are yellow.

    De allerschattigste vogel die ik in Finland zag was waarschijnlijk deze taigagaai.

    Hard to photograph species like these fast flying mofos are especially rewarding when you get the shot just right. 👌🏻

    Naast die fraaie pestvogels zijn er nog wel meer kleurrijke vogels te vinden in het hoge noorden. In Finland zag ik bijvoorbeeld deze parmantige morinelplevier.
