Description

Particularly a good spot for autumn migration. In August-September several dozens of Щеврик лісовий and Жовта плиска are visible during a single morning. The site is certainly one of the best in the Paris region for migration of Припутень with tens of thousands of them visible on some October mornings. Several dozens of Дрізд білобровий, Чикотень and Дрізд співочий are common during mornings of October-November. It is also the case for Жайворонок польовий, Плиска біла and Щеврик лучний.

You can also look for passerines stopping in the bushes on the hill, for example Кропив’янка прудка is heard regulalry in April-May. Дрізд гірський is regular in April in the tall trees with mistletoe. Вівсянка звичайна breeds in the bushes.
