Nice - River Var mouth: Crag Martins: Just west of Nice Cote-d'Azur Airport the River Var is an excellent spot for Crag Martins. They can be viewed from either side of the river. To view the mouth of the river you must cross the bridge to Saint Laurent-du-Var and park in the large car park by the Cap 3000 shopping complex. From here follow the footpath along the riverbank south for a short way to reach a couple of viewing platforms. I saw 2 Indian Silverbills in flight as well as many Mediterranean Gulls with the roosting Continental Cormorants, Black-headed and Yellow-legged Gulls.

Jardin botanique de la Corniche fleurie : Indian Silverbill: I saw at least 10 very easily, including apparently recently fledged juveniles. If you follow the roads north from Nice Cot-d'Azur Airport parallel with the River Var and pass an Etap Hotel. Turn right shortly after this and follow the roads that zigzag up the slope. The jardin is signposted and has a car park. Beware of confusion with some similarly named housing estates, although one of these did hold several Firecrests.

Cros de-Cagnes: Yelkouan Shearwater: 2+ seen easily close inshore off McDonald's Restaurant

Cap d'Antibes - Cap Gros: Yelkouan Shearwater: 4+ feeding distantly off Cap Gros also 6 Mediterranean Gulls flew north
