Description
The site lies in the Charente river valley and is easily accessible from the town. It is part of the alluvial plain that borders the river from Cognac to the sea. The site is best visited during spring (April to June). Along with a national decline, the Corn Crake was last observed during breeding season at la Palu in 2018. It is worth being on the lookout in spring. During breeding season Zitting Cisticola, Reed Bunting, Corn Buntingand Eurasian Hobby can be seen. During winter Great Cormorant and Cattle Egret come to roost on the island.
