22nd - An early start today for a trip to Piemanson via Vignolles/Fangassier. I arrived at Vignolles just before 8am and the shallow water at the north end of Fangassier was full of Black-headed Gulls, probably numbering around 500. I scoped the shoreline on Vignolles and the first wader I picked out was a splendid, moulting adult Temminck's Stint. It was feeding in the company of 6 Little Ringed Plovers and 2 juvenile Kentish Plovers. Due to the high water level on Vignolles there was nothing else about except 4 Common Sandpipers. However, as I drove back towards L'Amphise a couple of juvenile Caspian Terns swooped low over the car. I made my way down to Piemanson and as I approached the Baisse de 500 francs it was obvious there had been a major influx of waders in the past week. I counted 42 Black-winged Stilts, 10 Redshank, 3 Common Sandpiper, 12 Ringed Plover, 45 LRP, 35 Kentish Plover, 14 Little Stint, 2 Sanderling and a moulting Knot. Continuing along to the They de Ste. Ursule there were even greater numbers with around 400 Dunlin, 150 Little Stint, 12 Curlew Sandpiper, 30 LRP, 55 Kentish Plovers and over 200 Shelduck, most of which were juveniles! I had a quick trip to the beach but the tourists were everywhere and the sea held nothing but Yellow legged Gulls and a few Little Terns feeding, although the garrigue was full of juvenile Yellow Wagtails. I made my way back into the Camargue via Mas Cameroun where I spotted 3 Turtle Doves and a couple of Bee-eaters and stopped by the Etang de TdV. Here I found 6 Mute Swans, 20 Mallard and 5 Gadwall on the lake plus a flock of 30 Little Terns and one Whiskered Tern over.  A couple of Green Sandpipers flew between the islands and both Grey and Purple Herons flew in to feed. There were Sand and House Martins flying over continuously and a splendid male Marsh Harrier then appeared on the far side of the lake. I heard Cetti's and Sardinian Warblers and saw a pair of Fan-tailed Warblers as they called high above me. On the journey back I also spotted single Linnet, Reed Bunting and Greenfinch.
