This little and very open forest near Ben Ahmed has 0.25km2 area of Pine , Eucalyptus woods essentially. It is a very nice place for birdwatching. I have seen more than 110 bird species in this little forest. Essentially Fringillidae (9 species ), Motacillidae (6 species), Muscicapidae (12 species), Sylviidae (8species) and much more. See the birdlist and the link below. Rare species observed here : Bladkoning, Vuurgoudhaan, Keep, Appelvink, Kruisbek (Loxia curvirostra poliogyna), and more.
