Jean-Valentin Dourthe  emailed on 12th –  “Oh!! Oh!! Oh!!  I’m very lucky!

I came out of my work at 17:00 and I went to try to see Beatrice on her favorite place to Onard. the river level is way down. the first bird I saw was beatrice !!!!! With a big fish ( chevesne in french :  Leuciscus cephalus)
I took 3 pictures from a distance. I took more photos of its territory and I am going back tomorrow. I am sending you the photos earlier this week. I am really very happy to see this bird, it’s a bit of my annual appointment !!! How long can it last even ?? Roy thank you for the work you do. I hope to meet you one day, and perhaps come to Beatrice on her nest !!!
