Description

RNR du Grand Voyeux is a good place for birding throughout the year with a wide diversity of habitats. During winter generally a good place for ducks, Луток being a regular sighting in February, as well as for Большая выпь. Good opportunities for gulls in the evening on the étang des Pâtis with regular Хохотунья. Also few hundreds of Тростниковая овсянка gathering in the Bougrandeuse reedbed at night.

Варакушка is the symbol of the reserve with regularly 5-6 singing birds in spring. Волчок, Болотный лунь and Речная крачка all breed on the reserve. In August-October when water level drops, the area offers good opportunities for waders and for Погоныш.

All season you can add a lot of passerines on your list in the wood north of the area including the Пухляк which is now a very rare bird in the Paris region.
