Description
The Seudre estuary is home to a large portion of the population of the nanmetum subspecies of the Синогушка, 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 Жолта тресиопашка, свиларче, селска ластовичка, Црвенонога сабјарка and more.
Nearby чапја лажичарка and different heron species, such as ноќна чапја are breeding, as well as речна чигра and Black-winged Kite. Besides from that you can observe патка крецка and several limicole species during migration, such as бојник, црноопашна блатарка (keep your eyes open for the islandica subspecies), мал свиркач etc. (see the list below). The open landscape also allows good observations of migrating passerines, like обично ливадарче, црноглаво муварче, лисесто циганче or обично камењарче, as well as вртивратка. On the nearby fields you can observe Red-legged Partridge, златно блатарче (only during winter), калуѓерка and голема стрнарка. Note that in end of August the hunt for waders and ducks begins, which makes good observations harder.
In the summer 2025 a Pectoral Sandpiper and a блатна тринга were stationary on the side of the road for a while. I was also able to observe a мала бела чапја x Western Reef Egret hybrid several times in the area.
