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

Typically, it was the last day of our French expedition when the weather turned sunny and very, very calm
. On the way to Montpellier airport, we stopped off at the beach near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and found a scattering of egrets and flamingos feeding in the salty lagoons. This Little Egret obligingly went about its business close to the bridge from where we watched.
