Peregrinations

Seeing friends and family, plus the never-ending job search, has left precious little time for birding (although Great Grey Shrike at 130km/h next to the autoroute was a French tick). Here are some non-birdy photos from my yuletide wanderings. Christmas in the south of France dawned bright and sunny.

Heading north over the Millau bridge.

Puy de Dome.

Arriving in the Parisian region.
