Magpie Marvel

I've been putting birdseed and cooked rice out to try to attract our very flighty birds. Really happy to see these Iberian magpies again; they used to use our birdbath a lot, but hadn't seen any in ages. This was from the tiny window by my bed, chose this one to show their gorgeous blue.

Later, we had another special bird moment. We'd stopped to watch a video where the internet was better than here, and suddenly heard the characteristic calling of common cranes. Way over a hundred of them passed over our car, Mike was much quicker with his phone than I was with my Fuji.

Gratefuls:
- the group of people who support and pray for us, persevering when the internet was too slow for us to connect on Zoom
- seeing Guillame, Kasia and little Mira at the market
- walking down to the Lake, still filling, and the pink post sunset glow over it all
