Hautes-Alpes  >  France

The road from Orpierre to Villebois les Pins is not only very picturesque, it's also rich in birds. And the amount of Averla piccola is astonishing.

Descrizione

The road from Orpierre to Villebois les Pins is perfect for relaxed bird watching. The road has almost no traffic and passes through different types of habitats. A part runs along a small enclosed stream where the treetops are at eye level. A part runs through small-scale agricultural landscape with hay fields. Some parts run through forest and the most beautiful part through a small canyon. This means that you can see different types of bird species. You can see many Averla piccola on the electric wires along the hay fields. Dozens of them! In the quiet bird months of July and August, they are very visible when they are sitting in the top of bushes with their young.

Also spectacular is the small canyon where Biancone can be seen perched on the top of the protruding rock pillars. You can also see Pernice rossa crossing the street on the bottom of the canyon in the early morning. The open agricultural area also has a lot of Zigolo nero and Picchio verde. But many more birds can be seen, see the extended list below.

When you explore the road by car, you can park almost anywhere. Only in the small canyon it can be difficult to find a parking spot.
