Lac du Cébron, created in the 1980s, is a major stopover and wintering site for birds in the Deux-Sèvres department.
The lake is a protected natural area and managed favorable to biodiversity and birds. The area is mainly composed of open water, meadows, woods and hedges.
During the breeding season, a colony of herons (Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, Little Egret and Black-crowned Night Heron) settle in one of the willows bordering the lake. The raft and the islet in the center of the lake welcome a colony Black-headed Gull and Common Tern.
At the time of migration, various migrants are likely to be observed: Greylag Goose, Garganey, Ruff, Common Sandpiper, Dunlin, Whiskered Tern, Black Tern, Eurasian Spoonbill, Osprey and Sand Martin.
