Beschrijving
Les Baux-de-Provence (commonly called Les Baux) is located in the Alpilles mountains, atop a rocky outcrop that is crowned with a ruined castle overlooking the plains to the south. Around the old Castle built into the rocks lots of Alpengierzwaluw, Gierzwaluw and Rotszwaluw are flying around. Rotszwaluw is breeding in the rocks. Also a good chance on Blauwe Rotslijster and Zwarte Roodstaart. Sometimes also Scharrelaar can be seen. Around the castle are lots of olive groves. There you can spot Boomleeuwerik, Cirlgors, Bergfluiter, Rode Patrijs and a lot more. In winter on the rocks around the village Rotskruiper and Alpenheggenmus are spotted regularly..
