White Storks

The very warm spell continues and the flooded fields are quickly drying out but migrating birds are taking advantage of these temporary wetlands. Yesterday the Tardoire valley near Fougere held 18 white storks, about a hundred black headed gulls, 13 grey herons, three little egret, a few mallards and a single green sandpiper.
The latest addition to the garden's summer visitors is a blackcap which was singing loudly yesterday afternoon.
