I last visited the Touraine Marsh on a frigid and icy winter day in December 2021.


It was quite different today in early summer.

Some birds



NATURE POETRY
Middle English
Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu
Groweþ sed
and bloweþ med
and springþ þe wde nu
Sing cuccu
Modern English
Summer[a] has arrived,
Loudly sing, cuckoo!
The seed is growing
And the meadow is blooming,
And the wood is coming into leaf now,
Sing, cuckoo! – mid-13th century
Miles Hearn
