Two days with light winds but storms and rain. Was not even worth trying to sneak in an evening or morning flight. Tomorrow looks a bit brighter, but no decent flying acording to the forecast untill Monday then from Tuesday on looking very nice indeed.

Today some animal stress. Bitel, our Pyrenean Mountain dog got caught in the electric cattle fence we have to keep the cows off the bee hives and the house. A bit of a shock for him, but calmed by a long walk and lots of snacks. Also on walking through the town I thought I saw a big interesting bug on the road. It was actually a blue tit chick which must had fallen from a nest in the nearby trees. He was just hatched as had its´ yolk sack still attached and very little plumage. He is now in our chick incubator nice and warm and demanding to be fed (insects and worms via tweezers) every 15 minutes or so. Stinky, our ginger tabby decided to even the World balance by bringing back a small starling and eating it the bathroom.

I see that Parahawking are now in Alicante and charging 120€ for tandem flights with Harris Hawks. I have high hopes for flying with blue tits. Paratiting. Though stinky and pals may have other ideas before my new commercial brainwave comes to fruition.
