Shrike

The battery of the Rose e-roadbike is dead, it has turned into a heavy brick on wheels. Why did I opt for an e-bike again? We’ll never know.

So instead of heading out on the roadbike before work I went for a long walk, saw for the first time a red-backed shrike up in the hills, visited the storks who have become parents to two storklets, and passed the freshly mown fields with even more storks. Aika got her zoomies in the fields and enjoyed the two and half hours roaming around.
