    Hahaha. Ooh excellent, I hope to see an Osprey here one day, geese or gulls much less likely though! Snow here again overnight and frosty first thing, but it may be warming up tomorrow, hope so as I’ve run out of bird food to provide.

    Sunday playing Hide and Seek at Sionnet (GE) As my wife insisted on going down to Geneva to work despite being ill, I in turn insisted on being her chauffeur there and back last Sunday (21st April), giving me several hours to bird in the general area.

    All getting rather frustrating here with snow showers of varying intensity and very cold nights, -4C at dawn this morning.
