| Two Green Woodpeckers and "Pickle"* |
Yesterday morning, we saw our first
swallow (
hirondelle) flying over the house. This morning, Tim watched a pair of
green woodpeckers (
pic vert) searching for insects in the
verger and two
kingfishers (
martin pêcheur) zipped past the kitchen window, heading down the millstream like two brilliant blue darts [
and too fast to capture on film!]. To top it all, a flight of
cranes came by, on their usual ENE flightpath. The
red squirrels were clambering about in the alders next to the Aigronne, and the
water vole chugged past on an errand.
