Wednesday, May 5
There are only two small pieces of carrot on the wall. The weather is still gray, overcast. We decide to take the car to go visit other valleys Mercantour. Observation of the dipper at the foot of the waterfall on the road to Belvedere. Direction of the valley Tinée in fog. After the disaster the village of Saint-Sauveur Tinée, we go to the charming Roure and its Romanesque churches and shops closed. Despite the time, the view over the valley is splendid. The slope, black tits and sparrows crazy.
Back to St. Martin Vésubie for lunch at the "Rendezvous" very good ravioli with truffles and red wine "Adesso" Nero Sicily appearance of small peak-épeiche. We finish our road trip through the beautiful valley of the fenestration of the Madonna which leads to an austere monastery at 1910m altitude. Snow prevents us from going to the end of the road. This valley is beautiful, wild, covered with pine and larch. In places, a gap in the trees devastated by the passage of an avalanche. Comments: deer in the undergrowth, a hare escaping on our visit, the chamois in the rubble and a "lark" busy ground and unfortunately unidentified. I take a small photograph to submit it to our friends Birding. Small
ballad later in the day (20 hours) on the opposite bank of the river: we take the GR. Beautiful colors of the woods, and many traces left on the runway. We are seeing a deer, thrush drains very active at dusk, the wheatear and the vibrant wren. On the way back, Carine catches the fox cross the road just above the cottage.
Back at the lodge for dinner. Small ritual at the end of the day preparing meals for foxes, its installation on the wall and looking at the floor all light extinguished. Vulpino play with us: two appearances before the house without touching the rillettes of salmon. Over an hour and a half of waiting in vain. Output
night drive to 23 hours, we recroisons on two occasions. Revenues at the lodge, the rillettes are gone! Vulpinette (we imagine it is a female given its small size) is definitely a lot smarter than us!
