Beschrijving
In my opinion, Etang du Charnier is the best spot for Purperkoet in the Camargue, one time I saw 16 of them. It is also a very nice spot for Dwergstern, Lachstern and Visdief. With much luck, you can spot Woudaap. It is also a very good spot for Kleine Zilverreiger. In the whole area, you can see up to 100 on one day. The Purperkoet likes small branches of reeds, but also sits in reeds or on muddy areas next to some reeds.

Toegang
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.
