Today we headed down to les Saintes Maries de la Mer to rent bikes and ride along the dike road, to the lighthouse. We have made this ride at least once or twice a visit, and always enjoy seeing the wildlife along the way. We saw 2 snakes and one lizard crossing the road, but mostly we watched the birds.

We saw terns and gulls, stilts and avocets, a small group of phalaropes, several egrets, and lots of flamingoes.

The Mediterranean seems to be encroaching on the road, and as a result lots of huge rocks have been brought it to stabilize the dike.
