Description
The Seudre estuary is home to a large portion of the population of the nanmetum subspecies of the Kékbegy, which is endemic to the French Atlantic coast. With a bit of luck it can be observed here (other good spots are the Pointe de la Coubre, Marais de Brouage and RNMO). Some breeding birds of the Moulin des Loges reserve are sárga billegető, Berki poszáta, Füsti fecske, Gólyatöcs and more.
Nearby Kanalasgém and different heron species, such as Bakcsó are breeding, as well as Küszvágó csér and kuhi. Besides from that you can observe Böjti réce and several limicole species during migration, such as Pajzsoscankó, Nagy goda (keep your eyes open for the islandica subspecies), Apró partfutó etc. (see the list below). The open landscape also allows good observations of migrating passerines, like rozsdás csuk, Kormos légykapó, Kerti rozsdafarkú or Hantmadár, as well as Nyaktekercs. On the nearby fields you can observe vörös fogoly, Aranylile (only during winter), Bíbic and Sordély. Note that in end of August the hunt for waders and ducks begins, which makes good observations harder.
In the summer 2025 a vándorpartfutó and a Tavi cankó were stationary on the side of the road for a while. I was also able to observe a Kis kócsag x Zátonykócsag hybrid several times in the area.
