Cranes

Well my last post was nearly my last for a while but I have to add that as we were driving north from Charente on Friday our first skein of autumn cranes passed overhead. About 200 birds were flying south in their distinctive drawn out and wavering lines.
Not in Charente, but while waiting for the ferry at Caen, I watched several arctic skuas chasing sandwich terns while several razorbills were sat on the sea or flying to and fro. Two new species for the year for me.
