Description
The Seudre estuary is home to a large portion of the population of the nanmetum subspecies of the slavík modráček, which is endemic to the French Atlantic coast. With a bit of luck it can be observed here (other good spots are the Pointe de la Coubre, Marais de Brouage and RNMO). Some breeding birds of the Moulin des Loges reserve are konipas luční, cetie jižní, vlaštovka obecná, pisila čáponohá and more.
Nearby kolpík bílý and different heron species, such as kvakoš noční are breeding, as well as rybák obecný. Besides from that you can observe čírka modrá during spring migration, ibis hnědý, moták pochop, orlík krátkoprstý, jespák bojovný, břehouš černoocasý (keep your eyes open for the islandica subspecies), bekasina otavní and many more species (see the list below). The open landscape also allows good observations of migrating passerines, like bramborníček hnědý, lejsek černohlavý or bělořit šedý. On the nearby fields you can observe orebice rudá, kulík zlatý (only during winter), čejka chocholatá and strnad luční. Note that in end of August the hunt for waders and ducks begins, which makes good observations harder.
