Male stonechat
Six and a half hours outdoors today. I took my bike looking for birds along the Isar river. Freezing minus 7 C to minus 3 C. Frozen paths, difficult to cycle et cetera and ... I found a male stonechat in winter plumage in Munich. I spotted other birds as well but this is def. an unusual one.

Three super captures JB...It looks a tad cold, I guess the bicycling kept you warm.

Cycling was the minor part of the day but yes, you are right, my normal body temperature came back with it. ❄️⛄
