We were having last years bonfire today... along with this years. Great fun, huge heat.... especially on a hot March day.
But as we were taking a well earned drinks break, I pointed out to Pauline a huge bird circling overhead... a lone
Black Stork [
Ciconia nigra]
Cigogne noire... it was probably using the heat from the bonfire to add lift to those huge wings.

The camera chose to focus on the moon... but who cares... beats a vampire any day! |

Here the stork is in focus. |

Right overhead... |

The sunlight gives it an almost "plasticy" look. |
