Description

In spring and fall, Anse du Galon d'Or is a good spot for Скопа. In the reeds, you can observe Золотистая цистикола and Водяной пастушок. While in the marshland, with a bit of luck, you may see Провансальская славка. There are also Средний кроншнеп, Малая белая цапля, Черноголовый чекан and, during migration species such as Луговой чекан and Каменка.

In the neighboring pine trees, Мухоловка-пеструшка and Серая мухоловка hunt during migration, as well as Обыкновенная горихвостка, Пеночка-весничка and other species. Полевой конёк can be observed in the dunes. At high tide, gulls, terns and groups of limicoles come onto the beach. Note that you have to take a different route along the inside of the bay at high tide. See a link to the tide table below.
