Description

Vielha is a mountain town at an altitude of 980 metres. Birds are used to people so birds can sometimes be seen very close.

Among the birds you can spot along the way are povodni kos, kanja, brkati ser, beloglavi jastreb, rjavi škarnik, kačar, planinski orel, veliki detel and močvirska sinica.
