It's been another steady day with grand weather and Spring very much underway.
We spent the morning bumbling very slowly through some lovely countryside and equally lovely villages before arriving by lunchtime at the spot we're now at. We've been here (but not stayed here) before. It's a clifftop location with open sea views and is altogether extremely attractive.
Upon arrival Emma went for an immediate coiled-spring spin on the bike, while I had an immediate nap. Thereafter we both spent a good few hours relaxing and casually sea watching.
An excellent sighting was one of a pod of dolphins (I think bottle nose) hunting at speed. Their hunting line was preceded by dozens of diving gannets that were cashing in on the shoal of fish being driven by the dolphins. It was obviously not a good time for the fish but did make for an amazing sight.
The species list from this location is not bad at all and includes the more notables of: common blue and clouded yellow butterfly, a longhorn beetle (sp unknown), guillemots, Manx shearwaters, wheatear and perhaps the most unexpected sighting of all: a pair of choughs. These are apparently scarce here and seen in only very small pockets within Brittany.
