Iconic Flamingos

The word Flamingo means flame. These creatures were named by the Egyptians for their fire red coloring. The pink flamingo is a wading bird famous for its grace and beauty. The Camargue is home to more than 400 species of birds, including pink flamingos. The area, Europe’s largest river delta as the Rhone flows out into the sea, forms a protected natural park (Parc naturel régional de Carmague ) that is a nature lover’s paradise. The Parc Ornithologique du Pont de Gau offers the best and most structured way to see the flamingos, especially when they are flying. This is fascinating.
