kingfisher
and the black-bellied dipper
Near the river Gartempe the kingfisher
and the black-bellied dipper may also be seen. In the evening all kinds
of owls can be heard.
Early springtime and in the
middle of automn cranes come over on their migration route to and from
Extremadura in Spain. Unforgettable.!!
Birdwatchers
are perfectly placed on the terrace in front of the apartment
or somewhere in the garden to see among others the following birds;
goldfinches, hedge-sparrows, several kinds of tits, robins, black redstarts,
stonechats, spotted flycatchers, linnets and twites, greenfinches, etc.

In summertime the sky is full off swallows and sometimes House Martins, they come to drink and bath in the little pond. |
|
You can see green woodpecker
as well as great and lesser spotted woodpecker and if you are
lucky the hoopoe and the golden oriole, the red-backed shrike,
the hen-harrier, the red and black kite, kestrel, and of course
the buzzard. |
