near Burzenin, Poland. Although not the main purpose of the visit, I had been hoping to get a photo of a European Stork. A drive along bone-rattling back roads brought teasing glimpses of storks in flight, but always in places not accessible. We gave up the chase and were heading off when a bend in the road presented this sight. The crop doesn't do justice to the nest which is at least 10 ft in diameter, set on a platform about 25 ft above the ground in a farmer's field (built by local residents).

St Elizabeth Cemetery, Scarisbrick, Lancashire. Trudging around a cemetery on a wet and overcast day felt like something from The House of Usher..then I hear the rasping call of a Raven from the roof. As creepy as anything Poe wrote.

Douglas River near Rufford, Lancashire. Doesn't show well in the photo because of the angle, however there was nice green highlighting on the back of the head that stood out well in the sunlight.

near Burzenin, Poland. A plain addition, but just to show that like MacDonalds, they are ubiquitous.

across from St Cuthbert Church, Halsall, Lancashire. They probably wonder why sometimes the T.V. reception is spotty.
