Descripción
Rouelbeau can be conveniently visited after a trip to the nearby Marais de Sionnet (also described on Birdingplaces). Both sites are results of the Seymaz River renaturation projects carried out in the 2000s. Unlike the Marais de Sionnet, Rouelbeau lacks the floodplains suitable for waders. Among the 175 species recorded here, regular visitors and residents of the reedbeds include Avetoro Común and Avetorillo común, along with other notable species.
Once a marsh, Rouelbeau is now a 410-meter-long but only a few dozen meters wide pond surrounded by reeds. It can be observed from one of its narrow ends. While the pond and reedbeds are interesting year-round, the surrounding fields are especially rich in surprises during migration periods.
Focusing on the pond area, winter offers good chances of seeing Pato Colorado and Cuchara Común, with Silbón Europeo and Ánade rabudo norteño becoming rarer in recent years. Cerceta Carretona can be observed from spring to autumn, and Serreta Grande is present year-round. The pond also attracts some escapees, with records of Pato Mandarín, Pato Joyuyo, Netta peposaca, and Anas bahamensis.
The reedbeds are dominated by Gallineta Común, Carricero Común, and Garza Real. Among them, other species like Martín Pescador Común, Rascón Europeo, and Zampullín Común, which are present year-round, and Carricero Tordal, which breeds here, may be encountered. During migration, Pájaro-moscón Europeo, Carricerín Común, Martinete Común, and Garza Imperial can be seen. Avetorillo común breeds here in spring and summer, while Avetoro Común visits only in winter, accompanied by Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Garceta Grande.
In the marginal areas, waders such as Chorlitejo Chico and Archibebe Oscuro were more common in the past. Today, Andarríos Grande, Agachadiza común, and Avefría Europea are occasional guests during migration, with the latter two sometimes staying into the winter months.
From April to May, the surrounding fields and hedges are worth exploring for Tarabilla Norteña, Paloma Zurita, Faisán Vulgar, Ruiseñor Común, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Zarcero Políglota, and Bisbita Pratense. The likelihood of spotting a rarer pipit or breeding bird here may be greater than within Rouelbeau itself. The notable rarities recorded, including Garcilla Cangrejera, Correlimos Zarapitín, and Cigüeñuela común, date back to the early 2000s.

Accesso
Rouelbeau can be reached on foot from the Marais de Sionnet (1) in about 15 minutes. During migration, it’s worth checking the surrounding fields and hedges on the way for pipits, buntings, and various warblers. If you want to start at Rouelbeau itself, the nearest bus stops are Carre d’Amont or Meinier, Pralys. For those arriving by car, parking is available at the nearby sports center (Press P on the map for directions). However, the best way to explore the area is by bike.
Unfortunately, the site itself can only be observed from one location (2), with most waterbirds usually gathering at the far end (3). Bringing a scope and a bit of patience is highly recommended!
