Ah nature

This morning, we to the Centre de Decouverte du Scamandre, a nature center in the Carmargue Gardoise, the Camargue area west of the Petit Rhone.  It was a windy day, but we enjoyed walking through the marshes on their boardwalks.  We heard all kinds of great bird calls, but rarely were able to connect them with any bird that we could see. 

We really enjoyed observing the stork nest and listening to the mysterious racket that may have included calls from the illusive bittern.
