Message from France


    I am seeing one or two references to bad weather in the Mediterranean.  We are at our French place in Languedoc 35 miles from the Mediterranean.
   The weather here has been miserable - days of freezing northerly winds and driving rain with 3cm of snow on Monday.  Absolutely no migration with species like Nightingales now at least 4 days later than usual.  It has improved slightly today with some signs of migrants at last.  If the wind shifts to the south it will be like turning a tap on.
   Be patient it will all be with you soon.                         Derek Moore
