Today was a bit of an unexpected cold snap - temperatures dropped to -3°C overnight and then it snowed! Just as November finished too - it has been a cold month.
According to our
meteo-map, we are in a bit of a depression here with temperatures lower than other places nearby; for example, Limoges reported a lowest temperature of +4°C and we are probably at a slightly lower altitude. Even Bourgeneuf was warmer. Weird.
Anyway, a snow covered North Charente is pretty as a picture, snow-encrusted hedgerows with some trees in the background still orange with their autumn plumage. The starkness made it real easy to spot the raptors, some of them huddled up against the cold. I really need to figure out how to search and capture these fabulous birds.
