Roadside Romeo - The Unconventional Stretching Routine of the Little Bittern
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Geoff Trinder, we witness a truly peculiar sight on the Greek island of Lesvos. Meet our feathery protagonist - a male Little Bittern with an insatiable desire to stand out from the crowd. As he confidently struts along the road, his neck elongates like a majestic giraffe reaching for leaves high above. With his head held high and beak pointed towards the heavens, it's as if he's auditioning for a role in an avian ballet! This little daredevil defies conventionality as he chooses an unconventional stage - not perched atop trees or hidden amidst reeds but right there on the asphalt! Perhaps he believes that roads were made for more than just cars; they are perfect runways to showcase his unique talent. Witnessing such bizarre behavior is enough to make any passerby do a double-take. Drivers slow down, pedestrians halt in their tracks, and even fellow birds can't help but gawk at this feathered oddity. So next time you find yourself strolling through Lesvos or any other European paradise, keep your eyes peeled for unexpected surprises like our charmingly strange Little Bittern. Who knows what other wildlife wonders await us when we embrace life's quirks?
