Description

The small village of Chrouses has a lot of fields that are being irrigated during late summer and autumn. Therefore, the valley is lush green and attracts lots of migrants during this season. The fields can be packed with flocks of hundreds of pipits and wagtails, large flocks of swallows and martins fly overhead, the electricity wires can be stuffed with shrikes, chats and Tourterelle des bois, and the surrounding bushes full of warblers.

The surrounding hills are great for typical inland species, like Bruant cendrillard, Sittelle de Neumayer and locally breeding Circaète Jean-le-Blanc. Hilltops are great for foraging Faucon crécerellette and Faucon d'Éléonore.

Accès

Just after crossing the ford near Chrousos, you can park your car and make walk around the area to scan the fields, wires and bushes. During high tide, the river mouth can be a bit tricky to cross, but the water is never deep.
