We've seen [and heard]...lovely lovely photos! <br /><br />We've seen [and heard] them flying over in the distance this week; heading roughly in the Azay-le-Ferron & Obterre direction. Too far away to photograph :-(Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-63040891440005130732012-03-01T09:20:48.086+01:002012-03-01T09:20:48.086+01:00Jean, thanks... yes the scared fish can wait if we...Jean, thanks... yes the scared fish can wait if we see things like that... but you don't need to book mid-week... we think it has become a 'venue' for the Paris w/e mob... going on the registrations in <i>le parking.</i><br /><br />There is more...<br />the third post will be coming soon.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-37150700220404410032012-03-01T09:16:05.951+01:002012-03-01T09:16:05.951+01:00Gaynor, there is more to come!

As Wallace would say.."That was a grand day out Grommit!"... but chevre and baguette replaced the Wensly&Crackers... along with some pumpkin soup!<br /><br />That is a very interesting observation, Susan because, three years ago, one group of the ones that should be going South... flew in from the South... heading on a WNW tack... until they got to ours... they then used a thermal over Grandmont to gather [they seemed a bit spread out] and gain height... they then flew off to the SSW as one would expect... had these come from the Brenne after a similar diversion, found the correct landmark and headed on their way?<br /><br />The view of the landscape from their height would look totally different.... the Brenne would be in sight... the lot we saw come over the other day, though, were aiming to pass over La Celle G and St. S of the Humps...<br /><br />We are thinking of purchasing the new RSPB film on the cranes BTW.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-89255104511670752592012-03-01T09:09:20.592+01:002012-03-01T09:09:20.592+01:00Marvellous photos.

It seems to me that the cranes are often deliberately heading for the Brenne - they come over from your direction and I see them from our orchard. They either go up the ruisseau de Milonneau valley, north towards Loches, or they go south-east, which must mean they are heading for the Brenne, as it is a real diversion from their northern heading.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-16112903727100289382012-03-01T01:15:52.716+01:002012-03-01T01:15:52.716+01:00Fantastic!
