Western Cattle Egret
Home >> Blog >> Western Cattle Egret This little white heron owes its name to the fact that it likes to stay near livestock. It takes advantage of the latter’s presence by feeding on frightened insects. It can be recognized by its rather stocky silhouette, its rather short beak and the distinct bulge of feathers under it. The cattle egret differs from other herons by its massive silhouette and short beak.

This section constitutes a "Best-of" which is why I voluntarily limit the selection of this gallery to around forty photographs. However, the choice is always difficult and subjective at the time of selection.

Latest pictures – Year 2022
Home >> Over the Time >> Latest pictures – Year 2022 Latest pictures – December posted on December 28, 2022 Latest pictures – November posted on December 04, 2022 For the past few weeks I’ve been focusing on a little passerine that I adore, “The Bearded Reedling”. Like all passerines, this one is very restless and moreover it is subservient to the reed beds. Better to choose a day without wind (or very light wind) if you want to hope to see it in the reed beds and succeed in taking pictures.

Bird portraits
Home >> The Galleries >> Bird portraits As a wildlife photographer I have always dreamed of doing “Bird Portraits”. What better than a portrait to appreciate all the beauty of our feathered friends.

Index of Birds
Home >> Index of birds Index of birds encountered during my outings in the Camargue. This table includes the scientific name and family of each bird. Some species are encountered fairly frequently to very frequently, others rarely to very rarely because they are more difficult to observe and rarer. You can select a bird family from the list at the top of the table, so that you only display birds from that family. Moreover, this table will be completed over time and following my meetings with our feathered friends.
