Ice flow!

Yesterdays walk to the boulangerie was a very interesting one, firstly the river Vezere was full of ice that was flowing at great pace down river (below) after the temperature had soured from -16.5 degrees in the morning to just above freezing in the afternoon, after taking the picture i spotted what at first i thought was either an otter or beaver swimming at the side of the river dodging the ice blocks as it swam, it turns out after a bit of internet research, it was a Coypu, it's body about 40cms long and a tail of about half its body length, a great and surprising sight that means from now on i'll be on the look out for more sightings of them!
