I was happy to have the opportunity to revisit Harns Marsh, it had been a couple of months since my last visit - it's a lot quieter today but still quite an enjoyable place to be.

| How fun to discover a couple fuzzy Least Bittern! |
 |
| Several Limpkins were seen and some were feeding their little ones - apple snail are their Wheaties! |
 |
| A Cattle Egret in breeding plumage - very lovely. |
 |
| A Gray-headed Swamphen is photographed here, we later saw another adult with a young one. |
 |
| The Marsh - such a vast expanse and always lovely to see - in that lone tree was a.... |
 |
| Snail Kite. |
 |
| One family of Sandhill Crane. |
 |
| A Tricolored Heron on a mission. |
 |
| These eggs are the future Apple Snail which is food for the Limpkin and Snail Kite. |
 |
| After leaving the Marsh, we were fortunate to come upon this pair of Bobwhite - I think they are the coolest quails! |
They didn't serenade us but the view was spectacular!
Nice documentation from in and around Harns Marsh, France.
