We stopped first at the prosaically named “Small Pond North of Les Saintes-Maries,” where we had excellent views of a nice variety of shorebirds, including Kentish Plovers and gratifying numbers of orange-faced Little Stints. The real prize was a Broad-billed Sandpiper, a regional rarity (and a life bird for both leaders) that eventually gave all of us good looks. After a quick stroll on the beach, we stopped in at the city’s massive fortified church, where we saw the marble pillow on which the holy Marys rested, the painted box containing their bones, and the fascinating (and horrific) votive paintings depicting the ills and accidents from which the saints have saved the suffering over the centuries. In the crypt, the statue of Saint Sara was draped in lavish clothing and surrounded by candles lit by the Romani faithful, who have adopted her as their patroness.",[6991],{"type":63,"attrs":6992},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":6994},[6995],{"type":63,"attrs":6996},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":6998,"content":6999},{"textAlign":2895},[7000,7005],{"text":7001,"type":52,"marks":7002},"Not far from Les Saintes-Maries is the Pont de Gau, a splendid refuge built on the site of a former rehabilitation center for injured birds.

Even before we entered the preserve, we had had brief but good views of a pair of Hoopoes commuting between the fields and their nest hole; then, once we had gone in, one of the birds landed in a dead tree just in front of us, lowered the bill nearly to its breast as it sang its monotonous but infinitely evocative song for several minutes.  ",[7003],{"type":63,"attrs":7004},{"color":21},{"text":2912,"type":52,"marks":7006},[7007],{"type":63,"attrs":7008},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":7010,"content":7011},{"textAlign":2895},[7012,7017],{"text":7013,"type":52,"marks":7014},"I hope that these notes give a sense of the depth of the connection between the natural and the cultural in Provence.

A warm, deeply atmospheric winter adventure awaits.","745074","https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1ZSBYt0fo3Fe36hplVKXBfzJv-vNDwIo&ehbc=2E312F","southern-spain-in-winter","tours/southern-spain-in-winter",[6185,5755,8170],"Spain","283462f3-dee6-46f7-a9b2-249d54fabebb","2025-11-04T22:17:53.069Z",[],{"name":8175,"created_at":8176,"published_at":8177,"updated_at":8178,"id":8179,"uuid":6066,"content":8180,"slug":6181,"full_slug":8866,"sort_by_date":8867,"position":8868,"tag_list":8869,"is_startpage":154,"parent_id":579,"meta_data":48,"group_id":8870,"first_published_at":8871,"release_id":48,"lang":157,"path":48,"alternates":8872,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48},"France: Brittany in Fall - October 2025","2026-03-11T14:39:36.645Z","2026-04-16T19:55:59.954Z","2026-04-16T19:55:59.973Z",153806342876420,{"SEO":8181,"_uid":6769,"body":8182,"title":8175,"subtitle":21,"component":134,"hero_asset":8854},{"_uid":6766,"title":6767,"plugin":35,"description":6768},[8183,8825],{"_uid":6772,"copy":8184,"component":110},{"type":42,"content":8185},[8186,8198,8199,8218,8219,8227,8240,8255,8256,8265,8277,8289,8301,8313,8325,8337,8349,8361,8373,8385,8397,8409,8410,8419,8437,8448,8466,8477,8495,8506,8524,8535,8553,8564,8582,8593,8611,8622,8640,8641,8655,8668,8680,8692,8704,8717,8729,8742,8754,8766,8778,8791,8803,8810],{"type":45,"attrs":8187,"content":8188},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[8189,8192,8197],{"text":6779,"type":52,"marks":8190},[8191],{"type":207},{"text":8193,"type":52,"marks":8194},"October 4 - 12, 2025",[8195],{"type":63,"attrs":8196},{"color":6787},{"type":1363},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":8200,"content":8201},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[8202,8203,8208,8212,8217],{"type":1363},{"text":351,"type":52,"marks":8204},[8205,8207],{"type":63,"attrs":8206},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"text":6800,"type":52,"marks":8209},[8210],{"type":63,"attrs":8211},{"color":65},{"text":8213,"type":52,"marks":8214},"Rick Wright, Marco Valtriani",[8215],{"type":63,"attrs":8216},{"color":6787},{"type":1363},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":8220,"content":8221},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[8222],{"text":6815,"type":52,"marks":8223},[8224,8226],{"type":63,"attrs":8225},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":8228,"content":8229},{"textAlign":48},[8230,8235],{"text":6824,"type":52,"marks":8231},[8232,8234],{"type":63,"attrs":8233},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"text":8236,"type":52,"marks":8237}," 101 birds",[8238],{"type":63,"attrs":8239},{"color":65},{"type":54,"attrs":8241,"content":8242},{"textAlign":48},[8243,8250,8254],{"text":6838,"type":52,"marks":8244},[8245,8248],{"type":160,"attrs":8246},{"href":8247,"uuid":48,"anchor":48,"target":1348,"linktype":534},"https://ebird.org/tripreport/415968 ",{"type":63,"attrs":8249},{"color":65},{"text":6846,"type":52,"marks":8251},[8252],{"type":63,"attrs":8253},{"color":65},{"type":1363},{"type":196},{"type":45,"attrs":8257,"content":8258},{"level":1233,"textAlign":48},[8259,8260],{"type":1363},{"text":6857,"type":52,"marks":8261},[8262,8264],{"type":63,"attrs":8263},{"color":65},{"type":207},{"type":54,"attrs":8266,"content":8267},{"textAlign":48},[8268,8273],{"text":8269,"type":52,"marks":8270},"At the very western edge of Europe, Brittany is a place of moody landscapes, wonderful food, generous people, imposing architectural monuments, and gentle autumn skies.

Sheer gorges carved by turquoise rivers transition into cliffs, scrub-covered plateaus, and pockets of oak and pine woodland. Dry garrigue and maquis vegetation dominate the lower slopes, while cooler upland areas support mixed forests, open limestone grasslands, and rugged rocky outcrops. This ecological gradient creates a rich mosaic of habitats, where Mediterranean flora thrives alongside species adapted to higher-elevation terrain. The blend of canyon, woodland, and plateau landscapes offers sweeping scenery and excellent opportunities to observe natural patterns shaped by geology, water, and seasonal climate.\u003C/p>","LEPE",18110,"ventbird","Victor Emanuel Nature Tours","Europe/London",[8953,8957],{"price":8954,"label":8955,"id":8956,"seatsUsed":47,"productCode":5826},1000,"Single",63403916,{"price":8954,"label":8958,"id":8959,"seatsUsed":47,"minQuantity":1233,"maxQuantity":1233,"productCode":5826},"Double",63403917,"USD","Guest","Guests",[8964,8970],{"id":8965,"itemUrl":8966,"thumbnailUrl":8967,"mediumSizeUrl":8968,"largeSizeUrl":8969},4427229,"https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/European_Goldfinch.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/European_Goldfinch_tb.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/European_Goldfinch_med.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/European_Goldfinch_lg.png",{"id":8971,"itemUrl":8972,"thumbnailUrl":8973,"mediumSizeUrl":8974,"largeSizeUrl":8975},4427230,"https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/Grand_Canyon_of_the_Verdon.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/Grand_Canyon_of_the_Verdon_tb.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/Grand_Canyon_of_the_Verdon_med.png","https://img.rezdy.com/PRODUCT_IMAGE/18110/Grand_Canyon_of_the_Verdon_lg.png",[],"INVENTORY",[8979,8982,8984,8986,8988,8991,8993,8995,8998,9000,9002,9004,9007],{"label":8980,"requiredPerParticipant":159,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":159,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"First Name","String",{"label":8983,"requiredPerParticipant":159,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":159,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"Last Name",{"label":8985,"requiredPerParticipant":159,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":159,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"Email",{"label":8987,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"City",{"label":8989,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8990},"Country","List",{"label":8992,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"State/County/Region",{"label":8994,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"Postcode/ZIP",{"label":8996,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":154,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8997},"I agree to receive marketing emails","Boolean",{"label":8999,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"Address",{"label":9001,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":154,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"Special Requirements",{"label":9003,"requiredPerParticipant":159,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":159,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8990},"Title",{"label":9005,"requiredPerParticipant":159,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":159,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":9006},"Mobile","Phone",{"label":9008,"requiredPerParticipant":154,"requiredPerBooking":159,"visiblePerParticipant":154,"visiblePerBooking":159,"fieldType":8981},"How did you hear about us?",46.227638,2.213749,"AUTO_THEN_MANUAL",7,"2025-12-31T18:23:54Z",86400,7200,"2026-04-16T15:25:56Z",{"addressLine":21,"postCode":21,"city":21,"state":21,"countryCode":9018,"latitude":9009,"longitude":9010},"fr",[9020],"en_us",[],{"story":9023,"rels":9048,"error":48},{"name":9024,"created_at":9025,"published_at":9026,"updated_at":9027,"id":9028,"uuid":9029,"content":9030,"slug":9041,"full_slug":9042,"sort_by_date":48,"position":9043,"tag_list":9044,"is_startpage":154,"parent_id":3269,"meta_data":48,"group_id":9045,"first_published_at":9046,"release_id":48,"lang":157,"path":48,"alternates":9047,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48},"What's Included","2026-02-26T18:29:30.339Z","2026-03-16T20:30:53.345Z","2026-03-16T20:30:53.356Z",149262214544972,"6a9920ce-bc89-4ba6-b121-12cf78e147c9",{"_uid":9031,"component":9032,"active_body":9033,"active_title":9034,"services_body":9035,"services_title":9036,"accomodations_body":9037,"accomodations_title":9038,"transportation_body":9039,"transportation_title":9040},"44f9d480-81cc-49ef-944d-9dc7b7ec3419","whats-included","Every tour includes the core elements that make our field experiences possible so you can stay engaged with a range of activities.
