Descrição

Valbonne Military Camp is characterized by alternating rocky steppes with low vegetation and small patches of scattered dry forests and bushes. This habitat is rare for the region. The main attraction is the numerous pairs of Abelharuco-comum nesting in rabbit burrows on the ground (it is strictly forbidden to cross the fences to get close to the burrows). The first birds arrive on site in late April/early May. If you stand at the edge of the field, the Abelharuco-comum are easy to spot from a short distance. It's best to arrive early in the morning, but all day long you can admire the bee-eaters hunting insects in flight for their offspring, resting on bare branches or electric wires. Other birds of note include Laverca, Papa-figos, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo and Pica-pau-preto.

_________________________

Français: Ce biome particulier et rare pour la région, se caractérise par une alternance de steppes rocailleuses arborant une végétation basse et de petits ilôts de forets et buissons secs disséminés. La principale attraction du lieu sont les nombreux couples de guêpiers d'Europe qui nichent dans des terriers de lapins à même le sol (il est strictement interdit de franchir les clotures pour se rapprocher des terriers). Les premiers oiseaux arrivent sur site fin avril/début mai. Si on se poste à la lisière des champs, les guêpiers sont facilement observables à faible distance. Il est préférable d'arriver tôt le matin, mais toute la journée vous pouvez admirer le balais des guêpiers chassant les insectes en vol pour leur progéniture, se reposant sur des branches dénudées ou sur les fils électriques. Les autres oiseaux remarquables du lieu inclus l'Alouette des champs, le Loriot, la Pie Grièche écorcheur et le Pic Noir.
