Le Midi des Pyrenees Part 2

Le Midi des Pyrenees Part 2
Another highlight for David et moi, was a cycle ride of a few kilometres to the "Domaine des Oiseaux" ( Bird Sanctuary). We glimpsed the usual geese, ducks, chirpy wee birds and doves in the smelly doocot BUT the creme de la creme was the STORKS! Had never seen their high top-of- the- pole nests before or them flying but what a gorgeous sight as they swooped in and down..of course David got some good photos so I'm considering popping best photo of stork in flight, and amending it so it has the proverbial package in its beak announcing a new birth !!! Et voila!
Also must tell you about French television ( in French, naturellment, except for dubbed "Midsommer Murders" which was even worse than in English. BUT...they have their own version of "Pointless" the BBC1 TV Quiz show which some of you know I was a contestant on...ANYWAY...in La Belle France, it is called "Qu'avait pensees" ( literally translated."Who'd have thought?????) Loved it...presented by a boy who resembled "H" from Steps pop group of old...."Qu'avait pense!!!"
