Back in love with Leica
Well, it took just over two months of negotiating, but finally Leica customer services came through with a better result than I could have expected. Today, a very nice bloke called Gerald emailed to tell me that instead of repairing my damaged scope they are replacing it with a shiny new one free of charge! So thank you Leica, my faith in your customer service is restored. Now I just hope the new scope makes it through the French postal system! :-)
Unseasonable cold weather has resulted in not much bird (or birder) activity. During the brief appearance of sunshine earlier in the week, I spotted this smart male Beautiful Demoiselle...
... and these Wall (?) Lizards were basking on the platform of my nearest train station.
Last Saturday a visit from a Finnish friend saw us visiting the rather creepy Catacombs, where thousands of bones from Parisian cemeteries were deposited to make room for more buildings - not recommended for a first date!
