Description

Marais de la Vergne has multiple viewing spots. The area provides very decent marsh species specialties during spring: Γαλαζολαίμης , Καλαμοτριλιστής , (Ευρασιατικός) Ήταυρος , Καλαμόκιρκος , Ψαραετός and (Ευρασιατική) Χαλκόκοτα. The area is unfortunately heavily hunted in winter. During this season it is best to visit Terre d'Oiseaux, about 10km north (see www.birdingplaces.eu/birdingplaces/france/terres-doiseaux), although one can have a chance to see Υφάντρα.
