The wildlife has been putting on a good show for us today. At lunchtime we watched a pair of nesting jays hopping in and out of a split oak tree near the house. Then a splendid pair of green woodpeckers. All of this capped by the hoopoe, a spectacular bird with a swept-back crest on its head. Our bird book says "Migrateur transsaharien, c'est avec plaisir que l'on redécouvre la Huppe au début de chaque printemps". So, welcome back from Africa.
Yesterday we found a confused baby red squirrel in the dining room. It scampered off to safety when we opened the kitchen door.
