2000 [April] - Simon Woolley and Julia Casson

http://www.jjcskw.demon.co.uk/corsica.htm
Weather wise, the 3rd week of April seems OK - our first day was appalling (low cloud and rain); but after that it improved every day, and ended up hot and sunny (24 degrees C). The plants are also superb - loads of maquis specialities, including Provence, Tongue, Green-winged and Early Spider Orchids, and the scenery is among the best anywhere in Europe. If you fancy a low pressure Mediterranean break, with a (very) few very special birds, and lots of beaches/mountains/whatever, then Corsica could be for you!
