Lucky - a photo on Flickriver

Lucky

            I think it is fitting to post something with water today. When I was about to leave for work yesterday I heard a sudden swooshing noise from my kitchen and seconds later water appeared on the floor at the kitchen door. To cut a long story short it was a burst water pipe (btw the water pressure is really amazing here) and if it had happened a few moments later I'd have been away for the day, and my apartment and the four stories below would have looked similar to this picture. 
Anyway, these are bar-tailed godwits, and apparently they are one of the many species that will be affected strongly by climate change. By the end of the 21st century they will be gone from Europe.
(As a side note I'd really like to talk to the person that came up with the idea of calling humans the crown of creation.)
So I've been lucky twice, as I was still able to see these beautiful birds here and my home wasn't flooded yesterday.
