The water snake,
when out of water,
snakes (as experience taught her)
towards the water,
yet her brain
can't tell what's lake, what rain.

It was live action in front of our eyes in close range when the crested serpent eagle pounced straight down from a high branch to the ground for a snake..making many birders happy..
Knots creating a serpent like creature moving towards the photographers on the shoreline at Snettisham on the Wash, North Norfolk. The Knot is a dumpy short legged stocky wading bird and forms huge flocks in winter which wheel and turn in flight flashing their pale underwings. Many Knots use the UK estuaries as feeding grounds both on migration and in winter. Large numbers visit the UK in winter from their Artic breeding grounds.
Paddling around in the kayak, you come across things that look unusual. I like how the Marsh St. John's Wort looks like a serpent rising up, and the bent cypress trunk making an arch. Caddo Lake, Texas, USA, October 2022

I was sitting in my lounge on the 10th floor when I caught sight of birds flying outside. Surprised to see an eagle and a bunch of myna birds flying at eye level. While PPing, I realised he actually caught a snake. What a bonus.

Crested serpent eagle is endemic subspecies of Taiwan, due to eating snakes, the countryside known as snake eagles,
Not a great image perhaps, but it was an interesting cloud formation. Seeing it, I hoped it would develop into something specacular. It didn't! The ISS got in shot too...

This is the crested serpent eagle I referred to in my previous post. it was more a less around the corner, we first saw this one, and then about 40 meters later we saw the fish owl.
Both were sitting and probably living near a small pond, where their food was swimming around. But they feed also on snakes, hence the name.
There are over 150 large metal statues created by Ricardo Breceda scattered across the desert in Borrego Springs, CA. The Serpent has 5 sections that stretch out 350 feet, even crossing a road.
With yellow squiggles giving chase. This pavement serpent was found speeding by via the inner track on the Ignatz-Bubis-Brücke, Frankfurt am Main.
