Descrizione
The area around Ille-sur-Tête has a very varied landscape with the river Têt running in the middle and making a huge canyon. There is also forest, dry hills and agricultural land. In the forest you can find woodpeckers like Torcicollo, Picchio verde (subspecies sharpei) and Picchio rosso maggiore. In the surrounding dry mediteranean hills you can find species like Occhiocotto, Cuculo dal ciuffo, Cappellaccia and Corvo imperiale. This area can also be very good for spring migration with raptors like Biancone, Nibbio bruno and Albanella minore.
The area itself is very beautiful with the nearby Orgues and can offer shade when it is too hot in the summer.
