Description

Despite being so close to apartment blocks the channel and its surrounding areas are good places for casual birdwatching. During the colder months it's possible to see Canard colvert and Harle bièvre on the lowest part of the channel. Some kind souls have set small bird feeders on the trees close to the channel as well and it's possible to see the common Moineau domestique, Mésange charbonnière and Mésange bleue eating there. The occasional Pic épeichette has been seen in the area too.

When the spring migration season comes groups of Bernache nonnette arrive to the grass area next to the channel. They'll also raise their young by the channel during the summer too. As summer approaches, it's possible to see Garrot à oeil d'or in the channel as well. There have been Garrot à oeil d'or and Canard colvert ducklings on the middle level of the channel on multiple summers too. They often sleep on the rock close to the top waterfall. Goéland cendré , Mouette rieuse , Goéland argenté , Goéland brun and Sterne pierregarin are frequent visitors on the channel during summer. Numerous Martinet noir and Hirondelle rustique also fly around the channel area and if one's lucky they might spot them collecting mud for their nests by the rocks on the lowest part of the channel. Huîtrier pie has also been seen foraging on the grass areas and some lucky birders have seen them bring their chicks there too. Linotte mélodieuse and Chardonneret élégant like to forage for food in the area. Épervier d'Europe can also be spotted here.

While not a bird, it's also worth to mention that on warm summer nights it's possible to spot bats hunting on top of the water too.
