Soaring Stork
This November and December, I’ve decided to publish some black and white photos.
Because I have them, and because I’m not very good at taking black and white photos, and because I’d like to take more.
So I needed a push, to make me try to improve.
This photo was taken during my year studying otters. Storks were a big thing for me that year. Literally – they were huge. And also because I had never really seen a stork before: in every country that I’d been to, they’re were really rare. Seeing so many flying, foraging, nesting, greeting… It was amazing. So one day after having found the otter I was radio-tracking in a damn, I took some time off and tried to try and get a good photo of the two storks that were nesting on a telephone pole nearby.
Some adjectives to describe a Stork:
Elegant (when in flight)
Goofy (on land)
Cowardly
Serious
Suspicious
Willowy
Motivated
Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters
