Brief one tonight as late back and slow internet.
Early morning was spent below Saint Savin by the Lac des Gaves. Expected birds turned up...Dipper (2), Kingfisher, Grey and White Wagtail, Common Sandpiper, Mallard and Heron. Bonus being S.T.Treecreeper (pics to follow).
The afternoon was spent up at the wonderfully scenic Lac des Gloriettes. A fantastic spectacle! I looked in vain for Wallcreeper and Rock Thrush...again. No matter...it was a great place to be.

Change of plan!
We've just been informed there's a 3 day festival in Saint Savin starting tonight. Festivities go on till 5am each evening/morning!!! So, we're out of here. I've managed to get a cheap ski cabin for three days in Bareges. Just co-incidentally it's in a prime Birding area! Just up the road is the Col de Tourmalet which is part of the tour de France.
Maybe I'll catch up with one of these there...
