Today was a day full of contrasts, of things mobile and static, of things in the air and on the ground, of fast things and slow things, of big things and little things. This little white snail was on a stalk. Is it alive? Is the shell empty? It does not move. I saw several birds in a field – gulls, a solitary crow and a magpie. They didn’t move for a long time, but in the end they flew away. The huge wind turbine’s sails turned in the wind, making electricity. A helicopter flew above us. But more interesting was a large number of birds flying all around. Is it a migration? What kind? Birds of a feather flock together. They are all the same. Perhaps they are starlings. They are gregarious birds.
