White phantoms

1° classified
Author: Mateusz Piesiak (PL)
Location: Barycz Valley (Poland)
Description: When the ponds are being drained, thousands of birds are gathering around, because it is a great occasion to eat fish. Mateusz woke up before the sunrise, hid himself in the reeds and waited for birds. After some time the first egrets and gulls started to appear in the distance. Suddenly an eagle appeared on the horizon. All gulls lifted off while the egrets were standing still and motionless. It was still very dark so exposure time was pretty long.
