On a relaxed walk with a friend down to the waters edge on the outskirts of Ålesund, western Norway. The winter is making the usually beautiful surrounding area look crisp and fantastic and I am revelling in taking as many photos as possible. This time as we reached the water he spotted this bird (Possible Heron) which took off shortly after. Thankfully I'm snap-happy enough to have been ready for it and was loving the gentle sun rays creeping across.
