Oui, mais le cerveau est la source de tout amour...

Saviez-vous que les cygnes s'accouplent pour la vie?

Wait a minute... Isn't there something in the T&C to do with posting in foreign languages....?

Maybe not quite so scrambled baby, if anything, that would stick out like a sore thumb and actually attract replies...

Think esoteric...

On a serious note for a change on this thread, I can imagine that the Ardennes is a very spiritual place.

It is quite beautiful that so much birdsong can be heard in a place steeped in death and destruction from WW2.
All those brave and doomed souls that died there.

Today I was working near Engreux right along the Ourthe River. I heard this incredible hissing noise that at first I thought was giant snake at my feet! Then from out of the reeds just in front of me came a more familiar honk and what emerged was a Cygnus altratus or Black Swan. Its size was amazing with it head stretched out easily on level with my own and when it spread its wings at me I was nearly bowled over. I crouched down fairly well stunned by surprise and watched this beautiful bird as it waddled into the river, hissing all the while, and swam away. I did have my phone to take a quick pic but my hands were shaking so badly that I fumbled it into the reeds as a grabbed it and it took me some time to recover it.

I have never seen anything similar in this area and am still well amazed!
