A Greek Wild Cat , photographed near Lake Kerkini I’ve had a few encounters with wild cats, too, in both France and Greece. It was an exciting experience, though a remarkably chilly one, as winters in Castile and León can be very cold. My only wolf sightings have been in Spain, in December, and at great range.

Birding the Dry Tortugas in late April has always been high on my bucket-list of the best birding experiences in North America.

The song of the skylark is also heard across the Channel in France, where the bird is known as the alouette of children’s song fame. Our wine for this week is the 2017 Cuvée Alouettes from Domaine de la Chanteleuserie, a single varietal-wine made from Cabernet Franc, a black grape known locally in the Loire Valley as Cabernet Breton.
