| Gallery: Wildlife in a Provencal garden |  |
Cicada
One of my abiding memories of Provence will always be the sound-scape: from nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) and scops owls (Otus scops) at night to the almost unremitting sound of cicadas during the day. Despite their large size (and incredible volume), sometimes these animals could be hard to spot against the trunk of a tree; so good is their camouflage. (All of the pictures in this gallery were taken in the garden of 'La Roque', near Ginasservis in Provence, southern France in 2004.)
