Dawn through the flamingo flats with someone who has counted them since he was a boy.
Tomas has walked the Camargue marshes since he was small enough to ride on his father’s shoulders. He takes a few people out at dawn, names the birds without looking, and stops for bread and salt where the light is best.
A three-hour guided walk at first light through the salt flats, binoculars provided.
"He found us a hundred flamingos before breakfast. Unforgettable."
"Three hours that felt like a private documentary."
