Another day in May, another public holiday in France, with an extended weekend to boot, as a significant proportion of French businesses will be either shut or with reduced staffing on Friday.

I'm self-employed, so holidays are always a bit meh as far as I'm concerned. Fortunately, I can step out into our small wood and listen to the sound of the birds.
Sound on for this then, a recording of local bird song, with the tropical bird sounding golden orioles featuring as the regular summer and nesting visitor.
