Monnikendam - Migrating Birds

Originally uploaded by taekwon-dodo.

This is what prompted me to start my "Autumn in Flames" set. Since I was a child, the sight of the migratory birds commencing their annual journey to Africa has always been confirmation of autumn starting. As usual the birds have beaten the trees to show autumn is here - the trees are just now beginning to go brown, whereas these chaps started the journey south two weeks ago!
