Around St Severin

Having arranged my paints in the studio, I went for a wander around St Severin. I took my sketch book... and a pen... but I spent more time looking for that damned elusive hoopoe.  The weather has been strange in this part of France and I think perhaps they have been delayed.  I saw a very smart wheatear, heard the noisy frogs and spotted a whitethroat.  There are some beautiful poppies near the church.
