Last night in Yvoire

On our last night in France i decided to go for an evening stroll by myself.
I went down to the old harbor and i just couldn't have had better timing.
This old couple were feeding the birds leftover fish, buckets of it, and every gull, duck and swan in the village were invited.

I was just standing there, in the middle of this inferno of wings and high pitched shrieks and it was amazing.
I took pictures of course, but it was just so hard to capture what was going on in the dark.
In the pictures it looks like there's a couple of birds, but there were hundreds or more.
I counted seven Grey Herons, one of my favorite birds.
They were the least aggressive of the bunch, just kind of hanging out in the background.
