We finally went to visit a friend who moved to Aveyron in France 6 years ago. I think this trip will become a regular on our schedule.

Last weekend, watching the migrating birds as they turned south at the tip of Cap Gris-Nez. We were quite lucky to see several large groups of the Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia). Branta bernicla (Brant Goose) made the largest groups though, sometimes several hundred birds.

Thanks, Colin, after the rain of the previous days it was a lovely morning, if a little chilly.

Here is a running coot from the same visit. A lower viewpoint would have been better, but was not possible.

Totally brain scrambling Nasos!

Given the flurry of long lenses released in the 'Z' mount range in the last year, that "700mm equivalent" note is a useful reminder of what's needed for some situations
