Want to fly on your own but you don't know how? Robin Lhuillier, ornithologist trainer from the LPO PACA, takes you to discover the hosts of the ornithological reserve. Listen to them, learn to recognize their symphonies and distinguish them by their nuances.

First steps between air and reeds

The reeds bend in the wind but do not break. The lapping of the rocks, the whistling of the birds and the orange sky enhance this wild lake. Robin, a professional passionate about birds, opens his heart for 100% nature sharing.

The pirouette egret…

Posted in the middle of the reeds, binoculars on the nose, telescopes in hand. The egret is pirouetting, the heron is doing good and the cormorant is hovering in the wind. The dance is wild and majestic, the ballet captivating.

It's rush hour here!

Hundreds of majestic birds spring up, brush past us, twirl around before landing on the lake with elegance. Carried away by the fascinating and feathered stories of Robin, we witness a rare sight: a raptor in the middle of the hunt flies a few meters from our heads. He captures his prey and slips away as quickly as he arrived, shutting us down.

It's super interesting to take the time to watch all these birds, their movements, alone or in groups... Observation really allows us to understand how precious the environment is for them, but also for us...

The highlight of the show

The last point of view takes us up for a panorama of the reserve. Powerful and moving, the painting is magnificent, the moment unforgettable. At the foot of the mountains, the bluish water in the middle of the reeds gilded by the evening sun leaves us speechless. It's hard to take your eyes off this aerial ballet...
