A plea to drivers

Grey heron in road 
 Grey heron Hallhaigur          
 
The snow cover is still quite thick, and snowdrifts at the roadsides are large and high. Arriving migrating birds often land on the roads and may not move very quickly out of a vehicle’s way.
 
When you have passed the birds safely and nicely, please warn oncoming cars of the danger with your headlights. It reduces the speed of the oncoming car and makes the driver more observant.
 
Arriving migrant birds are always a particular joy. Rivers without ice cover can already be seen from the roads, and so food can be found in shallow bank-side waters. A small number of grey herons have arrived; they are not the winterers.
 

The bird is easy to notice and recognise, with a blue-grey and white plumage, long legs and long neck. At the back of the neck of mature birds is a long dark crest, the young birds have a black top of the head, in addition to other minor differences.
