Wednesday 29 October
An e-mail reminded me of the fact that it is those who try to stand up to the misogynistic bullies (i.e. the women, usually – most men will defend them), not the bullies, that are the problem. Noted. Anyway, since I already got all that off my chest in this post, I can just forget about that crowd and move on. I have other worries now.

The weather forecast promised mist around sunrise, so I got up early and went to Tempelhofer Feld. Unfortunately, it was not misty in any kind of photogenic way.

I saw several incidents of crow vs. kestrel and set myself the task of trying to get some better photos of those, in better light conditions.
