Buen Camino 11: birds and wildlife et al

The variety of wildlife along the way is remarkable. As a lot of time is walking in the country-side this is hardly surprising. Some of the little things have included: slugs  (brown or black), butterflies, various coloured caterpillars, ants by the thousands, snails and a brown snake  (about 20 cm long). The constant amongst these is that you are looking down at the pathway most of the time.
Of course there is the range of farming animals along the way also.

The birds flying around are great as well but the buzzards circling at one point seemed ominous. The cranes in Spain are very religious as they build their nests on any available church.

A number of pilgrims do have difficulty with their boots as shown by the impromptu memorials along the way. 

Lots of interesting houses and doorways along the way.
