This morning, we headed south into the wildest part of the Camargue, along the eastern side of the eastern edge of the nature reserve. We started out on a nature trail at La Capeliere. The trail featured a variety of habitats and several bird blinds. Most of the birds were hiding, but we saw several grey herons, a black-winged stilt, some ducks, swallows, and a flock of great tits (I think). We heard lots of enchanting calls. And swallows were nesting inside two of the blinds.

Just before the end of the road, at Plage de Piemanson, we encountered about 20 swans in the ponds east of the road. They were a surprise, because we have been mistaking foraging flamingos for swans several times this week.
