Fauna, fauna, where are you fauna...

Stormy sky on the way back to Carlipa (sorry, bit blurry out the window of the car)

Where are all the wild animals that you see normally in the countryside? We are living in a rural area in the deep countryside with vineyards and farms everywhere and you’d be flat out seeing or hearing any animals anywhere. Of course, there’s cows, sheep etc. Where are the rest of the animals? Do the hunters kill them all? We regular see the hunters with their rifles and wonder what they are shooting at. Actually I think it’s the noise of animals that I’m missing. At home in Mount Isa we could always hear animal noises, birds chirping, dogs barking, our cats whining, roosters crowing. Don’t those sorts of animals make noises in France? Hmmm…
