3rd - Today I travelled along the road to Gimeaux under an overcast sky with a little drizzle. I stopped at the first bend past Gimeaux and walked along the track where I managed to spot a female Reed Bunting, several Corn Buntings, a Yellow Wagtail, White Wagtail, Reed Warbler and 6 Tree Sparrows. Close to Mas des Barnacles I found 6 Bee-eaters,a dozen nesting Black-winged Stilts, a pair of Black Kites and a Common Tern. I continued on to Mejanes where I looked out over the Basses Mejanes and found a pair of Cetti's Warblers, a pair of Sardinian Warblers, Reed Warbler and 50 Flamingoes feeding on the lagoon. I then stopped at Mas d'Agon where 12 Whiskered Terns and 30+ Collared Pratincoles were flying over the lagoons. At times they passed low overhead giving excellent views. A juvenile Night Heron was then seen perched in a low tree only 10 metres away while an adult bird flew overhead along with a Purple Heron. Two Squacco Herons were soon seen in courtship flight over the eastern lagoon. Further north I managed to see a single Gull-billed Tern flying along the roadside, a male Cuckoo, 4 Wood Sandpipers giving alarm calls as they flew over, a single Curlew, Green Sandpiper and a Hoopoe. The protected zone was full of singing Skylarks and Crested Larks as usual with the added bonus of a single Short-toed Lark hopping around on a bare piece of ground.
