Description

The very western location of the Etang de Trunvel pond allows it to accommodate rarities from America as well as Eastern or Southern Europe. It is a great site for the observation of seabirds but also waders, ducks and various passerines. With sometimes rarities such as the green-winged teal, Μαυροπετρίτης, Pink-footed Goose, Lesser Scaup and Ρωσσογιαννούδι.

Français: Etang littoral, l'Etang de Trunvel, par sa faible profondeur et sa proximité avec l'océan, est un site intéressant pour l'observation d'anatidés (entre autres). La situation très occidentale de l'etang lui permet d'accueillir des raretés venues d'Amérique comme d'Europe de l'Est ou du Sud. C'est un site privilégié pour l'observation des oiseaux marins mais aussi des limicoles, anatidés et passereaux divers, avec parfois des raretés telles que la Sarcelle à ailes vertes, le Μαυροπετρίτης, le Pink-footed Goose, le Lesser Scaup, le Ρωσσογιαννούδι.
