Besançon, Birding and Sketching

• Monday 28 July 2008 - Deluz, 27/7/08

A family picnic in the woods followed by a walk up to the viewpoint on the cliffs yielded not much really!

Birds were noticeably lacking (It is July after all) Flyover raptors included a Honey Buzzard, a Common Buzzard and a Sparrowhawk carrying food. In the woods, Green Woodpecker and groups of Long-tailed Tits were heard, one Marsh Tit was seen. At the cliffs, the only bird was a Woodpigeon.

There were 12 Chamois of mixed ages loafing at the bottom of the cliffs.

A few butterflies were noted, including Dryad, Scarce Swallowtail and Green-veined White - amongst other non-identified brown things!
