Descrição
Rouelbeau can be conveniently visited after a trip to the nearby Marais de Sionnet (also described on Birdingplaces). Both sites are results of the Seymaz River renaturation projects carried out in the 2000s. Unlike the Marais de Sionnet, Rouelbeau lacks the floodplains suitable for waders. Among the 175 species recorded here, regular visitors and residents of the reedbeds include Abetouro-comum and Garça-pequena, along with other notable species.
Once a marsh, Rouelbeau is now a 410-meter-long but only a few dozen meters wide pond surrounded by reeds. It can be observed from one of its narrow ends. While the pond and reedbeds are interesting year-round, the surrounding fields are especially rich in surprises during migration periods.
Focusing on the pond area, winter offers good chances of seeing Pato-de-bico-vermelho and Pato-trombeteiro, with Piadeira and Arrabio becoming rarer in recent years. Marreco can be observed from spring to autumn, and Merganso-grande is present year-round. The pond also attracts some escapees, with records of Pato-mandarim, Pato-carolino, Netta peposaca, and Anas bahamensis.
The reedbeds are dominated by Galinha-d'água, rouxinol-dos-caniços, and Garça-real. Among them, other species like Guarda-rios-comum, Frango-d'água, and Mergulhão-pequeno, which are present year-round, and Rouxinol-grande-dos-caniços, which breeds here, may be encountered. During migration, Chapim-de-faces-pretas, Felosa-dos-juncos, Socó-taquari, and Garça-roxa can be seen. Garça-pequena breeds here in spring and summer, while Abetouro-comum visits only in winter, accompanied by Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Garça-branca-grande.
In the marginal areas, waders such as Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira and Perna-vermelha-escuro were more common in the past. Today, Pássaro-bique-bique, Narceja-comum, and Abibe-comum are occasional guests during migration, with the latter two sometimes staying into the winter months.
From April to May, the surrounding fields and hedges are worth exploring for Cartaxo-nortenho, Pombo-bravo, Faisão, Rouxinol-comum, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, Felosa-poliglota, and Petinha-dos-prados. The likelihood of spotting a rarer pipit or breeding bird here may be greater than within Rouelbeau itself. The notable rarities recorded, including Papa-ratos, Pilrito-de-bico-comprido, and Pernilongo, date back to the early 2000s.
Detalhes
Acesso
Rouelbeau can be reached on foot from the Marais de Sionnet (1) in about 15 minutes. During migration, it’s worth checking the surrounding fields and hedges on the way for pipits, buntings, and various warblers. If you want to start at Rouelbeau itself, the nearest bus stops are Carre d’Amont or Meinier, Pralys. For those arriving by car, parking is available at the nearby sports center (Press P on the map for directions). However, the best way to explore the area is by bike.
Unfortunately, the site itself can only be observed from one location (2), with most waterbirds usually gathering at the far end (3). Bringing a scope and a bit of patience is highly recommended!
