The "Embouchure de la Menthue" offers a wide view on the "Baie d'Yvonand" which is an important site for many breeding, wintering and migrating birds.
Many species can be seen from the tip of the dike depending on the season. In winter storlom are regular, but smålom and svartnäbbad islom are also seen occasionaly. Many other rarer water birds have already been seen for example svarthakedopping, alfågel, svärta or salskrake . småskrake is regular. Big duck groups from the other side of the "Baie d'Yvonand" in Cheyres can also be distantly observed from the mole.
In spring and autumn, many species have already been seen there. Migrating and sometimes resting, especially when the lake level is low and little sandbancks appear. Almost all the terns species occuring in Switzerland have been observed here. There is also a good list of waders. Skuas are occasionnaly seen. There is also an opportunity to see or hear breeding birds. The riparian forest on the left side of the Menthue has a few sydnäktergal and trädgårdssångare territories. sommargylling and mindre hackspett are also regular. Especially in July there is a good chance to see distantly flying dvärgrördrom at the bottom of the Yvonand bay.
The site is easily accessible with public transport from the train station of Yvonand. It is less than a kilometer walk to reach the river from the station. Access with car is also easy. The best is to park at the beach car park (it could be a bit busy on nice week-ends in the summer, but is very empty most of the time). The area is not very big and walking is probably the best option.
Beavers also inhabit the area and can sometimes be well seen from the dike in the river or the lake. First hours in the morning are the best, but they can be seen almost any time.
