does birdwatching count as voyeurism?

our next target was olimpos. we took secondary roads again, passing through wonderful lakes and mountains.
we did see ferocious predators (i'm not sure if they were eagles) on the mountain road. we were lucky enough to see them with binoculars, but not fast and silent enough to take pictures.

a stork chorus was practising a canonical song:)

the lake avlan was bursting with bird species. even the burning heat couldn't stop us from enjoying this fairy tale spot.
this was by far the best moment of the whole trip (it was not the best artistic moment though, as you see). seeing a night heron just in front of our eyes. he just came flying, landed on that stick, and stood there for 15 minutes, leaving us time to enjoy his beauty.
here we are, in olimpos. can you guess which plant this is?
