The Camargue
Birds
As well as those already mentioned, we should see a selection of the following: white stork, glossy ibis, red-crested pochard, Kentish plover, Mediterranean gull, whiskered tern, short-toed lark, great reed and Cetti's warblers, firecrest, hoopoe and lesser kestrel.
Flowers
The range of habitats to be visited will provide botanists with much interest. Rare 'salt steppes', traditionally managed hay meadows, limestone hills and the stony desert of La Crau are especially rich.
Other wildlife
Coypu are everywhere, but seeing the still widespread wild boar is difficult. Diligent searching among waterside reeds often turns up the attractive green tree frog and medicinal leeches can be common in ditches.
