At the border between France and Spain, this site is very interesting, especially for the observation of birds of prey, but not only.
Artzamendi is located in the heights of the Atlantic Pyrenees. It is a starting point for mountain treks but also a superb site for stargazing in the evening (one of the rare dark spots within reach of Bayonne) and above all for what interests us, birds. It is a mountain site covered with low grass and few trees. You often come across Сип білоголовий and quite often Шуліка рудий and Боривітер звичайний, recently I have also seen Сапсан, and Змієїд блакитноногий. For small birds it's mostly Кам’янка звичайна and Горихвістка чорна I think.

Français: Le site d'Artzamendi est à la frontière entre l'espagne et la france, dans les hauteurs des Pyrénées atlantiques. C'est un site de départ de trek en montagne mais un superbe site aussi pour l'observation des étoiles le soir (un des rares points sombre à portée de bayonne) et surtout pour ce qui nous interesse, des oiseaux. C'est un site de montagne couvert d'herbes basses et arbustes et de rares arbres. Assez haut (900m), avec de beaux dénivellés en fonction des endroits où l'on souhaite aller.
On y croise très souvent des rapaces de divers types Сип білоголовий et Шуліка рудий ainsi que le Боривітер звичайний , recement j'y ai vu aussi le Сапсан , et le Змієїд блакитноногий . Coté petits oiseaux c'est surtout du Кам’янка звичайна et Горихвістка чорна je pense.
It is reached by PAS DE ROLAND, near ITXASSOU. It is possible and strongly recommended to go up there by car, there is almost 30-40 minutes of climbing, on foot it is 3-4 hours I think. It is possible to stop at several very beautiful places between these two points.
