Bird news

First hoopoo of the season seen today in Varen, actually on the road by the Vival. It seems to be a couple of weeks early, but being the first day of Spring tomorrow, according to Meteo France perhaps it knows more than we do.
In French it is called a  "huppe fasciee"
The cuckoo tends to be heard a week after we hear the hoopoo, first to hear a cuckoo let TAG know.
Library photo as we were not quick enough to snap him.
