Di Provenz’ il mar, il suol…

There are still two spaces left on our trip to Mediterranean France in April 2008, “Chirps and Churches.” We will be combining some fantastic birding in the Camargue with visits to such cultural and historical monuments as Roman Arles, the Papal Palace in Avignon, and Les Baux.

Target species include everything from Greater Flamingo to Blue Rock-Thrush, and our timing is such that we have good chances at seeing both some lingering winterers and a wide selection of breeding birds, among them “The Fancy Four”: Hoopoe, Roller, Cuckoo, and Bee-eater.

If you are interested in this expedition into one of the richest cultural and natural landscapes in Europe, please drop me an e-mail at birding@birdaz.com. But do it soon! It’s going to be a great time.
