Camargue National Park, southern France

After having an unpleasant night in an unfomfortable bed in Arles we woke up early to have some nice lights in the morning. We were birding along the roads on the western part of Camargue National Park. There were nothing really special but nice birds around. For a Hungarian guy dozens of Cattle Egrets and hundreds of feeding Greater Flamingos don't belong to the commonest spectacle. It was also nice to see the visible migration of Barn Swallows obviously being in a hurry to the south. An uncommonly late Common Swift was also good to see. The various habitat types makes this complex interesting and diverse. As we crossed the area on the northern part we returned to the eastern coastline. There were much less bird species in smaller numbers on the salt pans and lagoons. Cetti's Warblers were still or again singing in almost all the bushy habitats. Interesting species for my eyes: Cattle Egret 400 Greater Flamingo 500 Common Shelduck 60 Peregrine Falcon 1 juv. Snowy Plover 25 Dunlin 15 Sandwich Tern 90 Caspian Tern 1 Common Swift 1 Barn Swallow 600 Cetti's Warbler 30+ Zitting Cisticola 1 Rock Sparrow & House Sparrow mixed flock 400 ______ Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts, feelings and comments on my blog or its content.
