De bons secteurs pour observer la Glaréole à collier en Camargue en 2009

The Collared Pratincole Glareola pratincola is a wader. Pratincoles are unusual among waders in that they typically hunt their insect prey on the wing like swallows, although they can also feed on the ground. It has short legs, long pointed wings, a long forked tail, and a short bill, which is an adaptation to aerial feeding.
The species breeds on flat open areas with short or patchy vegetation such as fields, steppe plains near water, the margins of alkaline lakes and dried mudflats. In France, it only breeds in the Camargue delta, Southern France, where it’s population is small (around 60 pairs en 2007). We present you some good spots  to watch it in 2009.
