Despite the warmth in the sun this week, migration is not moving on apace. A few swallows (hirondelle rustique) are flying around but I've seen no new arrivals except for two blue-headed wagtails (bergeronnette printaniere) which were feeding around the feet of cattle near Agris. These are the most common race of the yellow wagtail which migrate through Charente.
A few winter visitors are still hanging around--perhaps they know something of the freezing conditions further north; during the last few days I have come across a handful of redwing (grive mauvis) and a single female brambling (pinson du nord).
