Description

La Grande Bosse is part of a complex of many lakes along the river Seine. It holds the biggest Pescăruș cu cap negru colony in the Paris area. Very impressive with several hundreds of pairs, also with Pescăruș râzător. The area is also a nesting place of Rață cu ciuf. And you can expect different species of waders, ducks, herons and raptors in migratory stopover or in winter.
