I have to admit I've still not seen it snow in La Tranche as last week's fall happened overnight. However the snow stayed on the ground for a week due to sub-zero temperatures (also making treacherous driving conditions) but it's already just a memory now the thaw is complete.We've been looking after the wild birds that frequent our garden as you can see above. Just as temperatures were rising mid-week I discovered a walk along one of the many canals around La Tranche and saw at least 15 coypus ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu ) enjoying the gently warm sunshine. The water must still have been pretty cold though!

coypu (think that,s the plural) used to be common on the Norfolk Broads but were thought of as vermin and trapped. They are rarely seen nowdays but are supposed to be returning.Here endith the lesson. Love the birds. Edith x
