When the wood pigeons migrate through SW France, some hunters become obsessed. It is sometimes called the 'Maladie bleue', or the blue sickness, due to the colour of the pigeons. This one has asked his wife to call his work to say that he won't be in for the next few days as he has the 'Maladie bleue'...
This mushroom hunter is surprised that he feels rain… It is known that mushrooms often grow beneath the palombières in the trees. When a hunter has to go, he doesn’t waste time or reveal himself to the pigeons. We see grey cranes passing overhead en route for the corn fields.
