Bit of a strange campsite location for twitchers as on a noisy road few metres from a very busy beach. But Dave munched his first pizza and i enjoyed my first frizante before we planned the day. It all looked straight forward in the guide but the Italians don't have an eye for detail. Got lost a lot but had some unexpected experiences including yet another 3 euro ferry across a river to save a 10 mile round trip. No one seems to be working in the villages. Had ice cream in a bar where about 15 old blokes were playing cards! Back to the birds-wonderful flocks of flamingos, egrets, stilts, shell ducks, and a swoop past by a hen harrier, beeeater, squacco herron, spotted crake. This is not even best bird time! Best of all our patient wait a bird lookout tower was rewarded when we spotted family of what we think were coypu swimming towards us and then munching right underneath the tower! Dave's pictures give a bit of an idea. Back to camp and then a swim in the warmest water, great. All in all a great adventure. Wonder what the Camargue will bring? Journey on to west coast-Italian riviera and 2 days with Dave's old colleague-in a bed!
