Stride through the marshes, look up to the sky and you will discover a little egret in flight.

Let yourself be captured by this fast and light flight despite the size of the bird.

Be impressed by the size of their beaks as they dive into the water in search of fish or shrimp.

Admire their beautiful pink plumage.

In the rustle of the grass, you will soon perceive a grey heron in full landing.

A stone’s throw from the waders, watch the birds come and go peacefully in the marshes.

Take the time to listen to the rustle of the flowing water.

Admire the nests and the awakening spring.

Contemplate the lacy, tall wild grasses that allow large birds to hide and live quietly out of sight.

Be amazed by their way of life, both in groups and isolated in their own bubble.

Be impressed by the numbers.

Enjoy the fact that hardly any heads emerge from the water.

Enjoy the pastel tones and the reflection of the sun on the water.

Be amazed by the heavy flight of the pink flamingos.

Enjoy seeing a great egret in the middle of the marsh, it is so rare today.

Gently, discreetly get closer.

Ask yourself what’s so interesting about the sea floor.

Go back and discover the grey heron that has finally landed on a small island in the middle of the marsh.

Laugh inwardly at these birds that sometimes take sulky breaks.

Then be amazed to discover the grey heron perched just above your head. Enjoy this stroll through the marshes, which for a few moments has allowed you to forget the harsh realities of the present world. Take care of nature, it is beautiful, rich in lessons and as relaxing as you wish.
