Alpine Accenter the prize bird in Les Baux
I have spent a glorious week co-leading a Shetland Wildlife tour of Southern France that took in parts of the Camargue and the French Pyrennes.We managed to catch up with a host of great species, some of which were not expected to have been seen so easily and quickly such as Eagle Owl and Slender-billed Gull.
