Mistral chases us into Tournus

Still sunny and still on the River Saone and heading for Tournus. All was quiet until we reached the outer limits of the town and then the Mistral was upon us...

She caught up with us just as we were going under a bridge. That was fine. But I really did not envy the little hired holiday boat which was coming downstream and had to look up at a cruise ship and Lobelia and then search for a suitable gap.

We liked Tournus. Brilliant free mooring. Interesting shops. And fresh milk... (much rarer in France than in UK). The boys thought it was very exciting!

Saw our new friends on the commercial "Floan"- who were now heading north but unladen. Had a quick chat on the radio and they told us how they had been watching ospreys nearby. I think we had seen them too but had been unsure what they were.

We had taken a photo of another large bird of prey a week or two previously but had been unable to agree on its identification. The photo is below and all suggestions as to its identity would be gratefully received...
