With it's ancient civilizations, old canals, towering castles and huge churches, it came as a little of a surprise that there are still many wilderness areas in France with gorgeous birds, wild flowers, butterflies, dragonflies and all sorts of wildlife. This flamingo is apparently the same species that is found all throughout the Mediteranean and down through Africa, a bit paler than the Carribean species but equally beautiful. In the bogs in the Bouches de Rhone area there are huge flocks of these casually feeding on small crustaceans. There are also beautiful wild swans.
