Observatory overlooking a stretch of water with islets hosting a diversity of birds.
Foraine d'Authie is made up of a series of bodies of water resulting from the exploitation of old pebble strips. This old quarry has recently been made ecologically attractive for birds by the construction of islets and mudflats. The area has a beautiful diversity and is also a migratory passage point. You can see many waders, spoonbills, geese, and other water birds. Bring if possible a telescope because the best islets are quite far from the observatory.

Français: Observatoire donnant sur une étendue d'eau avec des îlots accueillant une diversité d'oiseaux. Le site de la Foraine d’Authie est formé d’une série de plans d’eau résultant de l’exploitation d’anciens cordons de galets. Cette ancienne carrière a fait l’objet de récents aménagements à vocation ornithologique (îlots, vasières…). Belle diversité et lieu de passage migratoire. Limicoles, spatules banches, bernache... Prévoir jumelles et si possible longue vue! (les meilleurs ilôts sont assez éloignés de l'observatoire)
Foraine d'Authie is located directly west of the village of Conchil-le-Temple. Access on foot along the D940 road (accessible on foot via the cycle path along the road) or by bike from the cycle path, a small bicycle space is available before the observatory.
