Got the train to Vizzavona, hiked up to the pines and saw the nuthatch and the finch. Slept under the pines. Hitched back to the port (jamming a Moltoni's between lifts), slept on the beach (got woken up by the glaring lights of an unexpected beach plough bearing down on us, which was a bit like being woken up by a dragon!), and got the ferry back to Nice the next day (which nearly didn't run due to a strike that nearly turned into a riot at the port, which was erupting all around us in French!). Lovely place, but really expensive. Go for it. Loads of other good birds in the short trip, like Spotless Starling and Italian Sparrow too.</p></blockquote><p></p>
