In the past (on February 27, to be exact) I had alluded to a photo trip to the Camargue with my friend Didier. Well, today was the day. The Camargue is home to a very varied fauna: coypus, Camargue horses, Camargue bulls, mosquitoes... and over 400 species of birds! At this moment, we happen to be in the middle of the flamingo mating season, so there were huge numbers of these elegant birds around. They are very vocal and go through a variety of mating rituals, but I don’t think they’re actually doing anything yet; they still seem to be at the dating stage. Nevertheless, the beautiful pink and white of the birds and the blue sky reflected in the water made for a perfect photograph for today’s blog entry.
