Wow. Cool reptile! I can imagine it being well camouflaged waiting patiently next to the insect hotel.
6 months agoBut, ya gotta love their crazy feet!
6 months agoYou didn't add the song or musician to your video. Curious about the artist.
6 months agoYou can never have too many flamingo pictures.
6 months agoThat's a bird that should be native to Walla Walla, Washington.
I'm starting to hear Donald Pleasance from The Great Escape reading the captions to these photos.
A fluke. Lucky with the lighting. Lucky to get such a clear shot, lucky he stayed put.
6 months agoPerfect lighting.
6 months agoI’ve never really researched it, but now that I do a little confused. Apparently in the Camargue it’s best between April and September, because they breed here in the summer but most go south to Africa in the winter. If you’re here in summer, maybe you could see baby flamingos!
Around Gruissan though it sounds like maybe they’re resident and you can see them year-round, but not in anything like the huge numbers they see in the Camargue.
What time of year is the prime flamingo season? I loved the photo series.
6 months agoWe may have seen that same flamingo doing that same behaviour but we thought it looked more like a boss male bullying other younger/smaller ones. The big guy strode around from spot to spot making a lot of noise and flinging his neck about.
6 months agoThis was really lucky. He didn’t hang around long. I just had time to get a few shots off before he scurried up the wall and out of sight.
6 months agoSuperb photo!
6 months agoThanks! I was really pleased with this too. It was lucky to be passing by at the right time.
6 months agoUgh. That’s painful to think about. I’ve had a few pedal injury’s (though none as serious as that sounds), so it’s easy to imagine.

Did you know you can take a screenshot on your Garmin Edge device? I learned that this summer (after our trip). Unfortunately, you need to connect to a computer with a cable to transfer them.
