Panda Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Glad I never posted my pictures, they look like pictures of herds of mosquitos in comparison, they were very high in my defence! Still a wonderful sight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb47 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Heard and then saw our first grues (cranes)of the year this afternoon in 47 near Tournon D'Agenais, though our French neighbour said more had probably passed over in recent nights. There were about 40 circling on a thermal, quite high but clearly visible with binoculars. He (French neighbour) said "l'hiver a passe" (sorry about the lack of an acute) - let's hope so. All the other signs are good with lots of daffs, crocus and cherry blossom and the thermometer just hit 20deg C in the shade. Though it's probably a bit early to take off the pool cover just yet!Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Obviously spring is a little late in the Correze, but the Cranes arrived by night. I could hear them, but couldn't see them. While calling the female cats in away from two marauding males who were intent on having their wicked way. So spring has finally sprung. Mind you, having looked at the long range weather forecast for the next 10 days - temperatures are due to drop to -3C overnight during next week. So my swaying in the breeze daffs might get a bit of a shock.PS, the male moggies are out of luck - all four of my female mogs have been neutered.

Rose Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We saw them today... How exciting... picked hubby up from Bergerac airport and on our way back up the RN21 we saw loads of them... we pulled off at our turning and in the end we had to stop the car to get out and look... they just seemed to keep coming... we even saw a big ball thingy dance too... fantastic! They looked like they were on the way to Perigueux!! [:-))] [:D]or at least they were heading off in that direction! [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My neighbour just dragged me outside to watch and listen to to what he said were wild geese flying overhead. There were hundreds and hundreds of them, heading due north.He reckons that's it now, winter is over (and he's nearly always spot on with his predictions on all things weather related).
