More senses

There is a lot of bird life along the Camino. The more it rains the more the birds sing. Sparrows and all kinds of finches greet us along the way. Every day we also hear the cuckoo but we haven't seen one yet. Larger birds including magpies and some kind of falcon swoop around. On the water there are ducks, in the fields- chatty geese and even an ostrich and in the farmyards clucky chickens with very proud roosters strutting about and showing off their voices. The first couple of days we heard and saw canaries in cages but none recently.

The cows are Charolais as in France, Friesian and the red Spanish with horns. Lots of them have bells which must drive them crazy tinkling all the time. Dogs are nearly all German Shepherds or another large dog that's similar but a mystery breed. They seem very docile. Cats come in all colours and hang about in groups/ packs/ prides??
