Maximum temperature 16C, minimum 8C.  31 km/h SW winds.  8mm rain measured this morning.

Tapponat Château. 

Rapeseed in the distance beyond the wheat and the main road.

Sharing 'my' road with a tractor and a car.

 Watching the storms in front of me....

while another one is catching me up from behind!

It was raining by the time I had reached here...

and the dam was in darkness.

Suddenly the sun shone through the rain...

and what a delight to see...

These three photos were taken within seconds of each other so why is the sky so different?

Nearly home and mole hills in our neighbours field.

This evening's setting sun.

20/02/2016 A couple of bird shots and the rest of yesterdays walk.

Maximum temperature 12C, minimum 2C.  41 km/h S wind. Light drizzle.

Great Tit.

Wood Pigeon.

Calves seen out walking.

Mole hills, I have no idea how they survive in this saturated soil!

Road crossing, lucky for me there is a small foot bridge on the left.

Mud!

Storm damage.

Vitrac church.

Vitrac.

Look closely and you can see the cranes circling, they were out of formation for some reason. This was the second lot I had heard and seen flying back North.  Sorry, only the little camera!

Maximum temperature 20C but it felt a lot warmer in the sun.
