November novelties.

[Bierzo Baggie]

Toral-Monte Pajariel route with the road bit first. Surprised the solitary heron that flew out from under the bridge over the River Sil. It always appears when the weather gets colder and I see it at various points along the river from now until spring. Strange that. The storks go (at least some of them) and the heron comes. Yet to my untrained eye they’re pretty similar looking beasties.
The running is still too much like hard work. Almost walked on the hills. 48 minutes.
