Description

La Feuillée is a cross-border reserve of 16 hectares with a little pond. It was exploited as a gravel pit in the 1930s, backfilled and then abandoned for years, but birds and other animals spontaneously colonized the place again. Among the birds you can encounter are (Ευρωπαϊκός) Μελισσοφάγος, Αετομάχος, Μαυροβουτηχτάρι, (Κοκκινόλαιμο) Νανοβουτηχτάρι, (Κοινή) Σιταρήθρα and Τσιφτάς.
