#WyrdWednesday Every 100 years in Spanish Mtns a kite lays a red egg in a gorse bush. It hatches into a B&W bird that lives for 50 years. A green worm emerges from its corpse & grows into a Gallo de la Muerte/Rooster of Death. If you hear it crow you're doomed to die the next day
@bjorn_stjerne Have a great Christmas Natalja, and thanks for sharing also many fascinating things, looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the year to come 🦌🎄🕸️
