Coincidentally, I snapped this little guy right across the street from the restaurant Le Salamandre on the Ile d'Or (the "island of gold" in the Loire in front of the château). There are also lots of them on and around the dikes on the left and right banks of the river. I was lucky to get this close as they are quite skittish.

He doesn't look too happy about having his picture taken!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about his happiness, but he certainly was suspicious. After I took one more step, he was gone.
