However the bird highlight was probably coming across a group of Collared Pratincoles, which are rare in the Camargue, and it's possible I was watching the whole population in one field together.
Watching Eagle Owls in les Alpilles at dusk was another highlight, although they were too distant to get a photo. But all the birds were great really, including good and frequent looks at probably the 4 most colourful European birds, Roller, Hoopoe, Bee-eater and Kingfisher. The only wetland bird that I'd hoped to see but didn't was a Black Tern, and definetely can't complain with what I did see!
Here's a Bee-eater
And Kingfisher
