Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. 22.02.2005. Original blog post.

Though there were plenty of flamingos to be seen throughout our French trip, they were often quite hard to digiscope, and I didn't get any really good images until the last day, on the way back to Montpellier. A few birds were standing around, sleeping, on a roadside lagoon but eventually they woke up and these two indulged in a little bit of display. Unfortunately, I missed the shot where they made a heart-shape with their necks, but that's digiscoping for you...
