Car- Boat-Car

Actually not a cormorant that broke the wind hawk the other day - in fact it was a gannet. As you can see I have been amusing myself by reading up on bird identification in the wet weather we are having. We have both cormorants and gannets here apparently and they all seem to be great friends.

Saint Vaast is actually a very pretty place and we do plan some exploring as soon as this rain has  gone, It has an island just offshore, Tatihou, which is a world heritage site with museums , forts etc.so we decided to go there today on the strange craft in the photo. Is it a boat? Is it a car? Is it a boar? Is it a coat?

Anyway apparently you can get there every day on the hour from April until 4th October, when it all closes so we have missed our chance and are reduced to sheltering onboard reading novels and writing blogs, C'est la vie.
