Description
The Seudre estuary is home to a large portion of the population of the nanmetum subspecies of the Варакушка, which is endemic to the French Atlantic coast. With a bit of luck it can be observed here (other good spots are the Pointe de la Coubre, Marais de Brouage and RNMO). Some breeding birds of the Moulin des Loges reserve are Жёлтая трясогузка, Соловьиная широкохвостка, Деревенская ласточка, Ходулочник and more.
Nearby Колпица and different heron species, such as Кваква are breeding, as well as Речная крачка. Besides from that you can observe Чирок-трескунок during spring migration, Каравайка, Болотный лунь, Змееяд, Турухтан, Большой веретенник (keep your eyes open for the islandica subspecies), Бекас and many more species (see the list below). The open landscape also allows good observations of migrating passerines, like Луговой чекан, Мухоловка-пеструшка or Каменка. On the nearby fields you can observe Красная куропатка, Золотистая ржанка (only during winter), Чибис and Просянка. Note that in end of August the hunt for waders and ducks begins, which makes good observations harder.
