Most of our rivers are over their banks and into surrounding fields thus providing a nice habitat for wetlands birds. Though it's still a little early for spring migration some birds are on the move and two white storks among the dozen or so herons were the highlight of this afternoon's visit to the Tardoire valley at Fougère There were other birds there as well though; several hundred black headed gulls and large flocks of lapwings often took to the air from the flooded fields. About sixty golden plovers and a few starlings were mixed in with them and flocks of white wagtails were everywhere.
The flooded Bandiat was a bit of a disappointment though with just a small flock of lapwings and golden plover but there were plenty of white wagtails there also.
