Description
In my opinion, Etang du Charnier is the best spot for sulttaanikana in the Camargue, one time I saw 16 of them. It is also a very nice spot for pikkutiira, hietatiira and kalatiira. With much luck, you can spot pikkuhaikara. It is also a very good spot for silkkihaikara. In the whole area, you can see up to 100 on one day. The sulttaanikana likes small branches of reeds, but also sits in reeds or on muddy areas next to some reeds.

Access
Etang du Charnier is located 30 km west of Arles and 50 km east of Montpellier. I would suggest to go by car, because the area is located on a busy road with cars going up to 100km/h. But there are also small parking gapes where you can watch the birds. Press a P on the map for directions to a parking spot.
