Grey Heron Lake Magadi

A Grey Heron stands motionless at the edge of Lake Magadi with its eyes closed. It’s midday and the temperature is close to 40 celsius, heat simmers when you focus on the distance and there is very little activity in the bird flocks that traverse the lake for crayfish and other critters that make up their diet. A sense of stillness hangs heavy in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of wind through the dry grasses and the faint, distant sound of flamingos traversing the lake.
