Birds at Le Vay

Eleventh January 2016

As the snow lay on the ground we were able to see with ease some of the bird life here. 

Karen the Kestrel was hanging around and watching for food under the snow. Here she is on the boundary fence with Eliane.

Then she would drop down into the snow looking for food.

However it only ever looked to me like she was eating snow.... look carefully !!

Then she would shelter from the whistling wind basking in the sun up on the edge of the old stones in the broken down barn.

As we watched she left her mark!

You can see her orange feet in this one.

And went about hunting,  using the electricity pole as her look out post.

My new camera is excellent at taking some of these long distance shots. I have a Nikon Coolpix P900 well worth the money. 

Later we saw  Bernie the Buzzard on the same pole, though the light was not so good.

And a Thrush in the tops of the Hazel bushes.

 So not all the birds have been eaten by the French! 

PS Sorry for the comments not correctly against the photos.... still learning howto adjust them. But I thought it would be best to post anyway.
