Hoopoes and Waders

There is little left of the flooded area around Fougère despite the substantial rain which my quarter-full wheelbarrow tells me fell during my UK trip. Nevertheless, passage waders are making use of it and there were 22 green sandpipers, 2 greenshanks and 3 little ringed plovers there today.
Hoopoes and cuckoos were calling and I noticed that swallows on the wires in our village and house martins circling around their regular nesting haunts in Saint Angeau. Several serins were also in song including one in my garden.
