23rd - A return to the Camargue and an early start at the beach at Piemanson confirmed that the predicted onshore wind was non-existent. In addition, a mist sat over the sea which made viewing difficult. Thus all we managed were 6 Common and 3 Little Terns! The lagoon by the beach was a little more productive with 12 Slender-billed Gulls, 3 fishing Little Terns and 4 Sandwich Terns. A number of Yellow Wagtails ssp. thunbergii called from the scrub but no other passerines were seen here. We travelled north past the Beauduc road and looked around Amphise where we found 4 Hoopoes, 2 Bee-eaters, a Melodious Warbler, several Little Egrets, Black Kites and many Crested Larks. A single Red-legged Partridge ran along in front of the car as we left the area! Another stop opposite Salin de Badon resulted in Reed, Great Reed and Savi's Warblers being seen quite easily as they called and climbed through the trees above the reedbeds. We had an excellent view of a Short-toed Eagle perched on a telephone pole at Fielouse and the young White Storks were showing well on their nest at La Capelliere. Despite an intensive search no Rollers were found in the northern Camargue!
