12 February
Beautiful sun, spring day ...
Here,
one
that takes advantage of it.
We are not far away.
Here is Mr. Fox of the "Bois de Vincennes".
At the lake, he quietly follows the shore of the island.
And dawdles in search of some chewable gluttony, indifferent,
disdaining his delighted
fans that admire him from the opposite shore.
Crepuscular the fox? Not him! Here he is, in full day and full sun.
Admire his
fur, on
the enlarged photo.
Red fox [Vulpes vulpes Carnivorous canidae]
Renart the fox knows the advantage of the vicinity of men and became urban. He is now prevalent in most major cities, first London, but also Brussels, Oslo, Amsterdam, Madrid, New York.
The immunization campaign using baits has rid of rabies in France.
It has adapted and has adequate food. There is about a hundred in Paris, mainly in the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne.

The
prunus buds
and the buds begin to redden. As every year the sparrows love them.
They are
fond of these young buttons and the tasting began.
Hey
friends, let me some ones intact!
14 February
The days
lengthen
significantly. It is 17h30 and carrying her usual snack, she entered
again in
the nest box.
15 February
Cold,
wind
and grey all day.
Grey on grey, the soft grey of the wood pigeon.
They
forgot
(temporarily?) flowerpots and walk on the balcony. What thoughts in
this round
eye?
16 February
Cold, sun
and songs.
17 February
It freezes
again this morning. Blue sky. 6-7 °C in the afternoon.
Not a visit that morning. It was not until 11:30 that we saw our two
blue.
She enters
always in the nest box, but without the slightest piece of straw or
moss.
Latest:
17.30 Djiriii chip chip chip: greenfinch the friend returned, here he
is singing
at the last rays of the sun on the top of the poplar tree. We had not
seen him since
late September.
19 February
Though cold
in the morning: 1 °C. 10 °C in the afternoon,. Mostly
sunny.
The visits
continue regularly.
Except
from sunflower seeds there is still nothing in the nest. They are
behind
time compared to previous years: 16 February 2006 and 9 February 2007
for the
first strands. Not even tempted by our moss.
It seems
nice though this foam that we have installed in a pot, isn't?
She accommodates its
feathers, a little exercise and the rest of the time she dreams ... of
a future
brood?
He sings happily in the sun.
