The road from Orpierre to Villebois les Pins is not only very picturesque, it's also rich in birds. And the amount of Alcaudón Dorsirrojo is astonishing.

Descripción

The road from Orpierre to Villebois les Pins is perfect for relaxed bird watching. The road has almost no traffic and passes through different types of habitats. A part runs along a small enclosed stream where the treetops are at eye level. A part runs through small-scale agricultural landscape with hay fields. Some parts run through forest and the most beautiful part through a small canyon. This means that you can see different types of bird species. You can see many Alcaudón Dorsirrojo on the electric wires along the hay fields. Dozens of them! In the quiet bird months of July and August, they are very visible when they are sitting in the top of bushes with their young.

Also spectacular is the small canyon where Culebrera Europea can be seen perched on the top of the protruding rock pillars. You can also see Perdiz Roja crossing the street on the bottom of the canyon in the early morning. The open agricultural area also has a lot of Escribano Soteño and Pito Real. But many more birds can be seen, see the extended list below.
