We moved into the foothills of the Pyrenees today. Wonderful range of birds and butterflies. Heading to high altitude tomorrow. #pyrenees

On the Spanish plains today, searching for Larks. Dupont's were predictably difficult, but once we got our ears in for the song, we managed a few glimpses. Also Calandra, Short-toed and Lesser Short-toed, or whatever it's called these days. #birding

Spent all morning barrowing horse manure into my 2nd bay, mainly to try and get warm! Both are brim full now, and I'm looking forward to trying to grow melons in them. Perennial sweet pea in the front should sprawl over them too. #allotment #manure

Really pleased with my garlic and elephant garlic this year. They seem to like the manure I put in each planting hole. It's taken 3 years to build up the elephant garlic so I have enough to both eat and re-plant next year. #allotment #garlic
