Heron over the snow-capped mountains

There’s something enchanting about birds being able to project their own shadow onto themselves. Here’s a Black-Tailed Godwit with the shadow of its distinctive head and beak on the inside of its wing, which I took at RSPB Lodmoor:

In Greece we saw this Grey Heron flying over Lake Kerkini, with the snow-capped mountains beyond. It was projecting its own shadow onto itself, just like the Godwit:

Now you try doing it.
