Maximum temperature 24C, minimum 13C. 18 km/h NW winds with 21 km/h gusts. 1mm rain measured this morning. Drizzle on and off all day with grey skies. I hope it does not upset the Bastille Day celebrations which start this evening. We have decided, weather permitting, we will celebrate tomorrow.
I managed 5 hoopoes (Upupa epops) in one photo today...
