Experience Level
2/5
Remarks
If I would not have looked slightly to the left I would have missed it. It was quick but the head was huge, there was a tail and then sparkles. It was the prettiest and most amazing thing that I have ever seen. I thought that it was heading for the top of the trees and disappeared into them.
