An early morning walk around the farm produced a good range of birds including Black Redstart, Green Woodpecker, Golden Oriole, Cirl Bunting and Sparrowhawk. Mammals consisted of a Red Fox, a Brown Hare and a farm cat. Later, visits to the hilltop villages of Puyselsi and Bruniquel produced more excellent birds including Swift, Alpine Swift, Crag Martin and more Black Redstarts. Non-birds included Swallowtail and Scarce Swallowtail butterflies (the latter by far the commonest).
