Beskrivning
The Excenevex beach (1) is one of the few larger sandy beaches of the Lake Geneva and therefore of special interest for waders, shorebirds, and waterfowl, especially from the end of August through to mid-May.
The most common wader is kärrsnäppa, but grönbena, svartsnäppa, mindre strandpipare, större strandpipare, drillsnäppa, gluttsnäppa, rödbena, småsnäppa, and also rarer waders like kustsnäppa, kustpipare, sandlöpare, svartbent strandpipare, rödspov, and especially roskarl are sometimes observed. The best chances for most waders are in April and May, whereas the kärrsnäppa is most abundant in September-October, and the roskarl is most likely to be observed during winter. The beach is freely accessible, and as some of the waders are not shy - especially the first-years in autumn - and approach patient observers on their own, excellent observations can be made.
The beach also offers a good opportunity to search a big part of the lake with a scope. The fisktärna is present from late April to September. svarthuvad mås, kungsfiskare, and gravand, which are present year-round, can be seen. In April and May, chances are best for observing silltrut and, with luck, Kentsk tärna and skräntärna. From late summer to autumn, rare guests like brednäbbad simsnäppa, kustlabb, fjällabb, and bredstjärtad labb can be seen with a scope and lots of luck.
From autumn to winter, interesting waterfowl stays in the bay, like stjärtand, bläsand, knipa, Skedand, and - again, with luck - bergand, småskrake, sjöorre, svärta, storlom, smålom, svartnäbbad islom, and gråhakedopping. Especially the divers are present through to April.
You might also come across a havsörn, but most likely it will have been raised in captivity: The station of the reintroduction programme „Les Aigles du Leman“ is situated close by.
Near the beach, in Sciez, a small wetland can be visited (2). It is most interesting during spring migration. vattenrall, sydnäktergal, törnskata, sommargylling, turturduva, and spillkråka are breeding here, enkelbeckasin, ängspiplärka, and blå kärrhök are sometimes present in winter.
Rarities found at the Excenevex beach include tretåig mås, långnäbbad mås, halsbandsflugsnappare, sandtärna, havstrut, one storlabb in 1999 and even one havssula in 2003.

Tillgänglighet
Excenevex beach is located on the south bank of Lake Geneva. There is a public parking close by the beach (click on the P in the map). Public transport is unfortunately scarce. There is a hourly bus connecting Yvoire and Thonon that stops close by; leave at La Pinède.
The paths are easily accessible, and the beach is usually empty in the winter, spring and late autumn, except for a few dogwalkers.

If possible, choose a day that is not too windy, as it can be difficult to search the waters of the lake when there are many waves.
