Birdwatching & Wildlife
We have specialised for many years in bird watching holidays and have a specific interest in vultures. We are also within the distribution range of many Mediterranean species: Bee-eaters, Hoopoe, Golden Oriole in Summer, Wallcreepers & Crag Martins in Winter. Cranes are part of a mass migration in Spring & Autumn. Not only is there a huge variety but also quantity of birds, especially raptors. A true symbol of the high mountains, the Bearded Vulture is a permanent resident in the French Pyrenees. We support local vulture conservation initiatives.
