The horses are still there, the five and the herd with lots of white ones, strange. I wonder if they are Luzitanias or Lipizanas ... are they not white? I put it up on two expat forums but have had no response whatsoever ... They all look happy and healthy. Plus a closer neighbour has four...

Birds will bath more this time of year they need the moisture for the eggs when they are sitting on the nest, it stops the shells from drying out to much before they hatch.

Mr Gull might be, loli; but for those folk who have them nesting on the chimney ....

beautiful
