Beschreibung
Les Baux-de-Provence (commonly called Les Baux) is located in the Alpilles mountains, atop a rocky outcrop that is crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Around the old Castle built into the rocks lots of Alpensegler, Mauersegler and Felsenschwalbe are flying around. Felsenschwalbe is breeding in the rocks. Also a good chance on Blaumerle and Hausrotschwanz. Sometimes also Blauracke can be seen. Around the castle are lots of olive groves. There you can spot Heidelerche, Zaunammer, Berglaubsänger, Rothuhn and a lot more. In winter on the rocks around the village Mauerläufer and Alpenbraunelle are spotted regularly..
