Camargue round up

Now returned and sorted out the photos. Over 200 taken and reduced less than 100 and probably 20 that will do for future RSPB illustrated talks. Especially pleasing were shots of wood sandpiper, black winged stilt and black crowned night heron. Plenty of flamingo shots and some successful ones of little egrets, terns and general views. Some reasonable ones here, but I keep the best for my talks.
