Description
Étang des Grésillons is an excellent site at any time of year. During the nesting period, Călifar alb, Gaie neagră, Pasărea ogorului, Prundăraș gulerat mic, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Turturică, Lăstun de mal and Vrabie de câmp are the most interesting nesters, especially for the latter, which has its last Yvelinoise colony on the site. Many other species also nest, including Corcodel mare and Corcodel mic, as well as Rață moțată, Nagâț, Codobatură galbenă, Cânepar and Sticlete. Some species do not (apparently) nest, but are still present during the breeding season, such as the Șoimul rândunelelor and the Egretă mare and Egretă mică.
During migration the site is also very interesting. Many rare or occasional species stay there, sometimes for several weeks. Rață sulițar, Rață cârâitoare, Corcodel cu gât negru, Piciorong, Fugaci de țărm, Prundăraș gulerat mare, Bătăuș, Fluierar de mlaștină and Pescăruș pontic are the most regular on the pond and its surroundings. But sometimes, you can come across a much rarer species: Pietruș, Fugaci roșcat and Fugaci mic, Țigănuș or even Chiră mică are a few occasional species observed more and more annually.
In spring, inspecting the meadows and bushes will allow you to find Lăcar mic, Mărăcinar mare or Pietrar sur during a migratory stopover. In the autumn Uligan pescar and Lopătar are observed rather regularly. And finally in winter, when the birds are not fleeing hunting, which is unfortunately allowed on the pond, there are numerous Rață fluierătoare, Rață lingurar, Rață pestriță, Rață mică which are observed there. Some Becațină comună winter on the site, among the Pescăruș râzător roosts in which there is sometimes a Pescăruș sur.

Français: Un étang aux habitats variés évoluant au fil des saisons, bordé d'une prairie rase, accueillant un grand nombre de nicheurs rares et d'espèces de passage. Un site excellent à toute période de l'année. En période de nidification, les Călifar alb, Gaie neagră, Pasărea ogorului, Prundăraș gulerat mic, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Turturică, Lăstun de mal et Vrabie de câmp sont les nicheurs les plus intéressant, notamment pour ce dernier, qui possède sa dernière colonie Yvelinoise sur le site. De nombreuses autres espèces de moindre intérêt nichent aussi, dont les Corcodel mare et Corcodel mic , ainsi que le Rață moțată, le Nagâț, la Codobatură galbenă, la Cânepar ou encore le Sticlete. Certaines espèces ne nichent (apparemment) pas, mais sont tout de même présentes durant la période de reproduction, comme le Șoimul rândunelelor et les Egretă mare et Egretă mică.
En période de migration, c'est là que le site prend une nouvelle mesure d'intérêt. De nombreuses espèces rares ou occasionelles y stationnent, parfois pendant plusieurs semaines. Les Rață sulițar, Rață cârâitoare, Corcodel cu gât negru, Piciorong, Fugaci de țărm, Prundăraș gulerat mare, Bătăuș, Fluierar de mlaștină et Pescăruș pontic sont les plus réguliers sur l'étang et ses alentours. Mais parfois, on tombe sur une espèce beaucoup plus rare : le Pietruș, les Fugaci roșcat et Fugaci mic, l'Țigănuș ou encore la Chiră mică sont quelques espèces occasionelles observées de plus en plus annuellement.
Au printemps, inspecter les prairies et les buissons permettra de trouver un Lăcar mic, un Mărăcinar mare ou un Pietrar sur en halte migratoire. À l'automne, ce sont les Uligan pescar et Lopătar qui seront observés plutôt régulièrement. Et enfin en hiver, quand les oiseaux ne fuient pas la chasse, qui est malheureusement autorisée sur l'étang, ce sont de nombreux Rață fluierătoare, Rață lingurar, Rață pestriță, Rață mică qui y sont observés. Quelques Becațină comună hivernent sur le site, parmi les dortoirs de Pescăruș râzător dans lesquels se trouvent parfois un Pescăruș sur.

Étang des Grésillons is located west of Paris, close to Poissy. From Paris, take the RER A to Poissy. Then take bus 10 or 42 to the “Les Bouveries” stop. By car, you can park in front of the gate (while leaving room to pass!!) or a little further along the side of the road.
