Photos we forgot

We weren´t able to post photos of the fauna and flora yesterday so we are going to try now.  This computer system is very old and has already swallowed 2 euros for nothing so I might not be lucky.

You have to be very patient and phlegmatic if you are a cow living in the pyrenees with a huge bell round your neck.

This is a yellow wagtail and boy, was it yellow.

Poppies, obviously. But this doesn´t really capture the redness of these little cousins to the British variety.

Tamarisk trees.  These were the first we saw but since then we´ve seen a number of different shades of light to dark pink.

There were three nests on this Church tower and four storks.  The male returns to the nest each year and gets it in shape for his mate to arrive.  One mate had returned and we watched these enormous and slightly daft birds conduct their courtship dance -  which involves much fluffing our of neck ruff feathers and clacking of beaks.  You imagine him saying " look at that twig I brought back for the nest.  Bet his next door isn´t as big."

One of many little cats we have seen with her unusual blue eyes.

Success! next blog The face of Spain.
