| Alder Catkins and Pussy Willow... from March 2012. The Siskins were feeding on the little round "cones" and not these catkins... but we need a lift and I thought that the golden sunshine looked warming! |
A Great White Egret (Ardea alba alba) Grande Aigrette in the valley... near Gatault on the D103 on the way in to Le Grand Pressigny... it was in the company of around seven Grey Herons (Ardea cinerea) Héron cendré [who were probably saying to each other "Who's that flash b'stard then?"]

| Great White Egret from February of last year. |
Also seen so far this week... male and female Hen Harriers (Circus cyaneus) Busard Saint-Martin [on separate occasions]... quartering the fields and our meadow...

| Male Hen Harrier also from February of last year. |
Coming shortly... a post to brighten this weather.

I like the egret -- you've really got a sense of it cutting through the air in its dignified way.
Beautiful photos.
I still can't see any of the previous posts by clicking on the link from my blog or on your header.
Susan... they are majestic, aren't they.
Jean... thanks. Re: The blog... the link from your sidebar is to .com, which when I click it, defaults to .fr... I haven't any problems seeing anything... right back to the be begining... try going to our website... deleting this version and then click on the link from there...
I think yours must be being cached somewhere and it gets stuck in a loop... no one else has reported the problem.
Have you tried the previous posts archive at the bottom of the sidebar?
Can't think of anything else...
