Friday 16th April

Once again it's sunny and warm but with a cooling NE wind. The sky is especially clear as there are no con-trails above Charente as a result of the Iceland volcano.
My first house martin of the year flew over today. The nightingale,blackcap,willow warbler and woodlark are all still singing around the garden and a cuckoo was in the distance.

A possible short toed eagle flew high above the house--but I was busy sawing a tree and too far from my binoculars.

A brief trip to the Bandiat produced nothing except at least one female ring ouzel and a few swallows. The flooding is now virtually over.
