French Trip - Day 2 - 15/5/13

Woke up to a soggy morning. Actually it rained all day putting a dampers on anything high up. The Forest was walked all morning with only a possible WB Woodpecker seen. We drove into Spain briefly and encountered some goodies. The decision was then made to ditch the Pyrenees and drive to the coast where we slept at Cape Leucate in the strong NW wind. The highlight of the day was getting stopped by the French Police (more in the trip report).
