The Camargue hosts France’s principal annual breeding colony of Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus).
Birds gather on managed saltpan lagoons and the artificial islets of the Étang du Fangassier to perform courtship, lay a single egg on mud-mound nests and rear chicks.
Breeding timing and success depend strongly on water-management and saltworks impoundment.
