Description
In spring and fall, Anse du Galon d'Or is a good spot for Скопа. On the way to the beach through the forest you can hear Светлобрюхая пеночка and Хохлатая синица. In the reeds, you can observe Золотистая цистикола and Водяной пастушок. Полевой конёк and Морской зуёк are breeding in the coastsal dunes. It is therefore important to stay on the trails. In the marshland, with a bit of luck, you may see Провансальская славка and during migration species such as Луговой чекан and Каменка looking for food.
In the neighboring pine trees, Мухоловка-пеструшка and Серая мухоловка hunt during autumn migration, as well as Обыкновенная горихвостка, Пеночка-весничка and other species. 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.
