Description
We regularly stay at camping Le Muret near Saint-Salvadou. This campsite is a bird magnet in the region. In the summer you can frequently observe (Ευρωπαϊκός) Συκοφάγος, but also Σταχτομυγοχάφτης hunting insects above the local lakes. From the campsite you can take a beautiful circular walk (5 km, see the map, good walking legs recommended) that leads you through varied habitats. For example, in 2022 we saw young Αετομάχος who were still being fed on the electrical cables . Other birds you can see in the area are: Τσαλαπετεινός, Σιρλοτσίχλονο, Ψαλιδιάρης, Τσίφτης, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Τρυγόνι, Μαυρομυγοχάφτης, Χουχουριστής, (Κοινός) Κόρακας, (Κοινή) Γερακίνα, Πυροβασιλίσκος, Μεσαίος Δρυοκολάπτης, Πευκοδρυοκολάπτης, Δεντροτσοπανάκος, Γαλαζοπαπαδίτσα, Καλόγερος, Δασοφυλλοσκόπος, Θαμνοφυλλοσκόπος, Καμποδεντροβάτης and Σταχτοτσικνιάς.

Français: Une zone vallonnée est caractérisée par des lacs, des champs, des bois et de nombreux buissons et murs de terre avec de vieux arbres qui séparent les parcelles agricoles. Depuis camping Le Muret, vous pouvez faire une belle promenade circulaire (5 km, voir la carte) qui vous mène à travers des habitats variés.

Access
The area is best explored on foot. It is extremely quiet, so every sound will betray your presence. On the other hand, some birds can be heard from a great distance. You can park opposite camping Le Muret (click on the P in the map for directions). There you can treat yourself to an espresso or a beer after your walk. The marked route (5 km) is largely on the asphalt road. The gradients in the area are impressive, so unfortunately unsuitable for wheelchairs.

Français: Mieux exploré à pied. Vous pouvez vous garer en face du camping Le Muret (cliquez sur le P du plan pour l'itinéraire). Le parcours (5 km) est en grande partie sur la route goudronnée. Les dénivelés de la promenade sont impressionnants, donc malheureusement inadaptés aux fauteuils roulants.

I myself have only visited this area in the summer. Very curious if there are birdwatchers who have experience with this area in the winter months. Please leave a comment at the bottom of this page and I can include your experiences in the text.
