Chinon Marché Medieval 2014

It was an afternoon of sunshine and showers at the Marché Medieval in Chinon today...

Except that the showers were downpours, accompanied by thunder and lightning...

But five minutes later the sun was out again and it was on with the show!

More of this wonderful spectacle tomorrow!

Hi big fellow...

This afternoon we did our July butterfly survey. A bit late we know but with guests and all...

On our fifth transect we came across this handsome fellow plodding on the pathway...

He stopped when he saw the camera,  "Get my good side"

 "Enough posing,  I'm off"

Don't know what make he is or even if it is a he... He just looked too big and butch to be female...

Footnote...
This Saturday is the Marche Medieval at Chinon which is usually a very good  free day out... Link here...
