Informations supplémentaires

From the circular 10 km perimeter track the reservoir and its flooded backwaters can be viewed with ease. The northern reach favours woodland birds and in summer several species of warbler breed here. Cincle plongeur breed along the inflow river at the northern end. In autumn, when water levels are low, Chevalier guignette and Chevalier culblanc are regular visitors. In winter good numbers of wildfowl congregate on open waters and within the wooded creeks. You can spot Sarcelle d'hiver, Garrot à oeil d'or, Grèbe castagneux, Harle bièvre, Plongeon catmarin and Plongeon imbrin. The main body of the reservoir is a roost for large numbers of gulls with sometimes Goéland à ailes blanches and Goéland bourgmestre.
