A walk with some friends at a nature reserve managed by WWF. A hot, sticky day, the birds far on the other shore of the lagoon, only one telescope between all of us to observe the osprey - a rare sight in Italy- and other species like the spoonbill, various herons like the cattle egret, the great white and grey herons, little egret, and a common sandpiper. So I drew what caught my eye- movements of the water around a dead branch, hoping for a kingfisher to poise.
