Good evening all. 5pm here.

We were up and away early to the Cevennes mountains this morning and it was blooming cold (12C) with a strong wind at 150 metres on Mont Aigoual! It's a slightly warmer 32C back at base :D

And I got to see vultures! Lots of them on Causse Méjean. Black vultures and griffon vultures. I was pleased when I saw two at a distance then we saw a flock of about two dozen close up and watched them for ages before coming across another, even bigger, flock.

I am a very happy, slightly weather-beaten birder tonight :)

Result!
Great that you got to see the vultures.
It's a venue of vultures or a kettle of vultures if they're circling!
Bet the slight physical pains were worth it. :)

Well we definitely saw two kettles :)

It's hard to believe my back was in such a mess this time last week. I could never have managed the drive, let alone the walking, this time last week. I think I owe my physio a bottle of something :)

Have some cheese.:)
Hot if you like.
Hot cheese sounds yummy. Im toasting some meatless chicken tenders.
Did it ever seem weird to some that the veggie"meat" have meat names?
Wasnt the point if being vegetarian not eating meat?
*shrugs*
Morning star buffalo wings taste VERY yummy though

Good morning.
I work just west of the beach. Maybe a mile.
I live about 9 miles from the beach.
I never go there, though.
Yes, ive been told those that live near the beach rarely ever go.
Weird isn't it ?
wifey and I lived next to one of the most popular beaches in England, but went once while we were there.
You just don't appreciate what's under your nose.
