Bocage et Prairies d'Ouroux-sur-Saône is made up of several interesting habitats for birds. The bocage made up mainly of old pollarded ash trees is home to Møller and Tornsanger. There you also find Pirol, Gjøk and Tornskate. Some plots are managed in a way that they are an ideal habitat for Gresshoppesanger. In the meadows you can find the classic species of the Saône Valley such as Storspove, Buskskvett and more recently Cistussanger.
