And Then The Heavens Opened

Part of a flock of 20 Red-rumped Swallows

Another very cloudy morning and Red-rumped Swallows everywhere.  I counted 20 0n wires at the bottom of our garden and managed a couple of shots.

The we set off to have lunch with Phillipa a new friend I met at BirdFair.  About a dozen White Storks were soaring above the road just south of Narbonne and once with our host a wonderful Short-toed Eagle performed a flypast calling loudly.  Then it started raining heavily and as I write this it still has not stopped.
