Well I'm back at the ranch after five weeks or so of birds which I struggled to identify, but very interesting and different it all was--- but this is a Charente blog so no more on that.
I gather that it's been pretty wet in my absence but the sun is shining today and it's good to hear the songs of blackbirds, robins, and skylarks, all of which seem to think Spring has arrived.
A red kite was soaring over the house yesterday and reed buntings accompanied the cirls in the nearby fields so that's two unexpected species to greet my arrival.
Cagouille reports returning cranes this week so I'll keep a look out during this morning's walk.
Good Morning,
ReplyDeleteWe live near La Rochefoucauld and I hope that like us you were able to witness the large number of Cranes migration ( grues cendrees) which passed yesterday. We were thrill to see groups of cranes hovering to wait for other groups to join them and reform in their V shape .... ! As very amateurs birdwatchers it was an exciting sight. I have posting a few pictures on my blog if you wish to see them.
Have a good day.
