Clouds, birds & changes











It's glorious weather as I type this - just about to set off to the beach for my first dip of the year. It's good to have the sun back after quite a while of disappointing days. However as you know we do make the most of any sunshine...

The first two photos can't quite capture the magnificent clouds we had recently: they're much better to see from a distance rather than under them!

The next three photos were taken at a bird-spotting place not at all far from here and you can see a stork and a heron but we also saw échasse blanche (black-winged stilt) which were very impressive. Too much Springwatch methinks!

More changes along the beach: first of all it would seem that the monstrosity next to Chez David is going to be developed - let's hope it's sooner rather than later. The next three photos were taken a week apart and show the work the council is doing to protect the houses to the north of le Pavillon - it's a huge undertaking. Finally Tine dropped my flip-flop whilst I was taking photos. We thought it was lost but later found it further along the coast, wet but no worse for wear!

Gorgeous pics again, getting impatient now about my jollies. The flip flip picture looks like a postcard! :)
