An account in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

An amateur photographer discovers unexpected objects on photographs he took in burst mode during a weekend in Biarritz. This case is an after-the-fact observation of strange objects on a photo, while nothing was noticed visually. This is a typical case of a small object passing very close to the camera. In this case, it is sea spray that caused fleeting spots. One can think that birds are also visible in the distance.
