Getting near that summer solstice, hopefully i can get some photos of noctilucent clouds this year. Last year was a good year for them. Its whether i can get up early enough check each morning.

Sorry, Google translated right but I entered wrong bird's name. Of course they are swallows, but that do not reduce amount of droppings. Now when I torn off lights they start to tweet.

Thats a great photo, i would be proud of that Rima despite the mess.

Superb - such a vivid colour, too.

Not an orchid but they do grow wild here in a sandy enviroment.

Coypu in France, swimming in an old Lavoir pool near my sister's place.

Saw lots of those in Upper Normandy last year - our Host's wife was a native Frenchbird and although the beast was unusual to us, she said the locals make Pate from 'em!

Well locally to my sister they shoot them if they see them, as they are pretty destructive, not particularly keen on killing wildlife, but they are not indigenous.
