THE FLAMINGO

The pink flamingo is one of the 340 species of birds
Fauna of the Camargue. Probably the most fascinating bird.

This largest colony of pink flamingos in the western Mediterranean has been breeding on a breeding island since the beginning of the 1970s
in the Camargue.

Scientists and nature lovers have created an extensive program to protect the flamingo and also to provide it with a comfortable habitat. The place where the flamingos nest was owned by the Compagnie des Salins du Midi until the end of 2008. Today this extraordinary area belongs to the Conservatoire du Littoral. The greatest vigilance is required to protect the reproduction, because the colony in the delta is exceptional and of worldwide notoriety (10 to 15,000 pairs annually).
In order to observe the birds during their wedding parades, it is essential to follow the instructions of the staff of the nature park and the bird protection organization.
In order not to disturb the peace of these very shy birds, it is not possible to visit the breeding island itself.
Special tours of this area, unique in France, are offered from April to the end of September.
