3rd - A brief trip to the Chateau d'Avignon for a non-birding experience turned out to be................a birding experience ! The drive along the D 570 turned up yet another Red-footed Falcon, this time a male gliding just south of the road ! The grounds of the chateau were nice and cool under the extensive tree cover. Birds were singing everywhere and I soon spotted a Hoopoe singing from the top of a distant tree. We settled down in the shade for a cup of tea and I noted a Melodious Warbler, at least 6 Pied Flycatchers, several Great Tits, a pair of Short-toed Treecreepers, a single Lesser-spotted Woodpecker, many Goldfinches and a Sparrowhawk. The journey back to Arles produced my first White-winged Tern of the year, in addition to many Black-winged Stilts, Mediterranean Gulls and 5 Gull-billed Terns. Merveilleuse!
