Descrição
There's no suggestion that Strasbourg city centre is an idyllic birdwatching destination for anyone visiting on a given morning or afternoon, and day-trippers should come with fairly low expectations. However, for those able to put in the time and effort, it offers some of the finest and most diverse inner-city birding around.
Various factors make Strasbourg a popular venue for birds. These include: its location on a North-South migration route near the Rhine, between the Vosges and Black Forest mountain ranges; the surrounding water (the city centre being located on an island that also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site); and the large number of church spires and derelict lofts.
Pigeons are obviously ubiquitous but are not limited to Pombo-doméstico. Pombo-bravo can be found nesting in unused chimneys and Pombo-torcaz are seen regularly. Gralha-preta are constantly heard marking out their territory and are occasionally joined by a Gralha-calva or two. Gulls are mostly Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas and Guincho-comum.
Cegonha-branca are perhaps Alsace's most iconic bird and are commonly seen over the city, largely thanks to the highly successful breeding programme at the nearby Parc de l'Orangerie. Other large birds that can be watched passing overhead - usually following a NE-SW route - are Pato-real, Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas, Ganso do Canadá, Ganso do Egipto and Garça-real.
Raptors are surprisingly common. falcão-peregrino can be spotted on the cathedral, where they have a nesting box. Gavião da Europa and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro are regular urban hunters. Águia-d'asa-redonda are often mobbed by crows. And both Milhafre-real and Milhafre-preto can be seen high up during migration periods.
One species that's easy to find between late April and late July is the Andorinhão-preto. They're particularly numerous between Place Kléber and Place Broglie.
Common passerines include melro, which can be heard singing in the evening, chapim-real, Chapim-azul, Pardal-comum and Rabirruivo-preto, the latter of which nest here. There are also quite a lot of Verdilhão-comum. Occasional sightings include alvéola-branca, Pisco-de-peito-ruivo, Alvéola-cinzenta, Pintassilgo and Felosa-comum.

Come to Strasbourg by any means: bus, train, tram, car... If you're driving, then the Opera car park on Place Broglie is quite useful for motorway access and for not getting caught up in the one-way system.
