Descrizione
The Excenevex beach (1) is one of the few larger sandy beaches of the Lake Geneva and therefore of special interest for waders, shorebirds, and waterfowl, especially from the end of August through to mid-May.
The most common wader is Piovanello pancianera, but Piro piro boschereccio, Totano moro, Corriere piccolo, Corriere grosso, Piro piro piccolo, Pantana, Pettegola, Gambecchio comune, and also rarer waders like Piovanello maggiore, Pivieressa, Piovanello tridattilo, Fratino, Pittima reale, and especially Voltapietre are sometimes observed. The best chances for most waders are in April and May, whereas the Piovanello pancianera is most abundant in September-October, and the Voltapietre is most likely to be observed during winter. The beach is freely accessible, and as some of the waders are not shy - especially the first-years in autumn - and approach patient observers on their own, excellent observations can be made.
The beach also offers a good opportunity to search a big part of the lake with a scope. The Sterna comune is present from late April to September. Gabbiano corallino, Martin pescatore, and Volpoca, which are present year-round, can be seen. In April and May, chances are best for observing Zafferano and, with luck, Beccapesci and Sterna maggiore. From late summer to autumn, rare guests like Falaropo beccolargo, Labbo, Labbo codalunga, and Stercorario mezzano can be seen with a scope and lots of luck.
From autumn to winter, interesting waterfowl stays in the bay, like Codone, Fischione, Quattrocchi, Mestolone, and - again, with luck - Moretta grigia, Smergo minore, Orchetto marino, Orco marino, Strolaga mezzana, Strolaga minore, Strolaga maggiore, and Svasso collorosso. Especially the divers are present through to April.
You might also come across a Aquila di mare, but most likely it will have been raised in captivity: The station of the reintroduction programme „Les Aigles du Leman“ is situated close by.
Near the beach, in Sciez, a small wetland can be visited (2). It is most interesting during spring migration. Porciglione, Usignolo, Averla piccola, Rigogolo, Tortora selvatica, and Picchio nero are breeding here, Beccaccino, Pispola, and Albanella reale are sometimes present in winter.
Rarities found at the Excenevex beach include Gabbiano tridattilo, Gabbiano roseo, Balia dal collare, Sterna zampenere, Mugnaiaccio, one Stercorario maggiore in 1999 and even one Sula in 2003.
Dettagli
Accesso
Excenevex beach is located on the south bank of Lake Geneva. There is a public parking close by the beach (click on the P in the map). Public transport is unfortunately scarce. There is a hourly bus connecting Yvoire and Thonon that stops close by; leave at La Pinède.
The paths are easily accessible, and the beach is usually empty in the winter, spring and late autumn, except for a few dogwalkers.
