Description
The area around Ille-sur-Tête has a very varied landscape with the river Têt running in the middle and making a huge canyon. There is also forest, dry hills and agricultural land. In the forest you can find woodpeckers like krutohlav hnedý, žlna zelená (subspecies sharpei) and ďateľ veľký. In the surrounding dry mediteranean hills you can find species like penica sivá, kukavica chochlatá, pipíška chochlatá and krkavec čierny. This area can also be very good for spring migration with raptors like hadiar krátkoprstý, haja tmavá and kaňa popolavá.
The area itself is very beautiful with the nearby Orgues and can offer shade when it is too hot in the summer.
