Cold in the South

Male Black Redstart

Wow it was cold here in the South of France today.  The north-westerly wind was strong and brought some showers too.  Early on I heard both Cuckoo and Nightingale but little else.  I cut our grass during the day and as soon as I finished a superb male Black Redstart appeared to feed closely followed by two females.

Woodchat Shrike

On the way back from an early shopping trip to Olonzac I did spot a Woodchat Shrike clinging on to a wind swept bush.  I do hope it is warmer tomorrow.
