Hence the popular saying, ‘ai ramas de fazan’ ( ‘you’ve been left a pheasant’). ![]() I suspect that it had remained behind because we know that female pheasants, after laying eggs, leave the nest.

In this photograph the meadow had been a bit flooded and it was a nice sunset with cows grazing in the background.ĭuring the pandemic I put some bird feeders in the yard. No season or moon goes by without me taking a few shots there, in different poses – at sunset, at sunrise, when it’s raining, when it’s snowing and so on. After my father passed away, I sat by the tree one night and felt a certain vibration, more personal. When I am troubled, I meditate next to it and feel how it recharges me. I have a kind of connection with this tree. This tree near the Şilistioara pond (a neighborhood in the western part of Corabia – note A.D.) is an old willow. Ovidiu’s snapshots and stories show us the islands of Băloi and Chirța in the vicinity of the city, the animals and plants living in the Danube Meadow and the connections between the natural environment and human practices, from infrastructural works to teenagers’ adventures. The following photos and comments are signed by Ovidiu Petrita, a wildlife photographer from Corabia, Olt county. We continue the guest post series where we invite locals to share their own understanding of the Danube.
