Migrants are still slipping in and today seemed to be the whitethroats' turn as three individuals were around La Tache this morning and I saw a fourth later in the day; none of them were singing.
While listening to two nightingales singing at La Tache (rather fewer than at Fontenille) I heard a clear snatch of golden oriole song. I could not locate the bird however and there were plenty of starlings about so it may have been a good imitation.
After the recent rain there is some water in the Tardoire at Pont d'Agris but the Bandiat is still completely dry.
A male hen harrier and a stone curlew were present in the same field near La Tache in the afternoon. Nuthatches and hoopoes were conspicuous around the village.
