What Are Those White Blobs?

Tooling around the étang in Péyriac-de-Mer last week, I spotted a bunch of white blobs floating in the distance….

I couldn’t get any closer, but I had a pretty good hunch about these birds.  A longer lens might have made a better shot, but zooming and cropping after i got home made them share-able:

I knew flamingoes inhabit the Camargue, which is a large salty, marshy coastal area much further east, so i was thrilled to see them practically in my backyard!
