Finding Birds in Languedoc-Roussillon is the essential guide to birding along the French coast, hills and plains between the Camargue and the Pyrenees in search of birds such as Lesser Kestrel, Little Bustard, Eagle Owl, Moustached Warbler, Thekla Lark etc. This book details exactly where to find the best birds along the French coastline between the Camargue and the Pyrenees including the areas around Narbonne, Leucate and Perpignan.
Compared to other publications covering the same area, this one:
- Provides the most useful maps - so you can easily find your way to the best bits of wetland, mountain or woodland
- Includes GPS co-ordinates to help you find the right turnings, parking spaces or viewing points
- Highlights the best areas only - and summarises the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site
- Has a map on the inside cover which serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book
- Is light and portable (and cheap)
- Is updated in the free update pages on Gosney's website, giving details of what other birders have found at these sites
Dave Gosney writes:
"‘This part of France has so far had little attention from visiting birders but it is home to a number of key species including Little Bustard, Lesser Kestrel, Bonelli’s Eagle, Eagle Owl, Moustached Warbler, Great Spotted Cuckoo and Pallid Swift plus a number of others that just creep into France from Iberia: Thekla Lark, Iberian Green Woodpecker, Spotless Starling and Purple Swamphen. I was surprised that some species such as Roller, Rock Sparrow and Western Orphean Warbler were relatively ‘easy’ and I managed to find some sites where desperately declining species such as Black-eared Wheatear, Short-toed Lark, Ortolan Bunting and Rock Thrush could still be found"
