At this time of year, they are looking for a mate or defending their nest, though they often remain elusive and difficult to spot. With patience and careful observation, however, it is possible to spot them in their natural habitat.
At the Pont de Gau Ornithological Park, the diversity of habitats supports a wide variety of passerine species. The park thus offers an ideal setting to learn how to observe, identify, and better understand these small birds—familiar yet often overlooked.
Spend a day, accompanied by a passionate ornithologist guide, immersing yourself in their world and developing your observation and listening skills.
The workshop alternates between field observations and classroom instruction. In particular, it teaches you how to identify species by their songs and behaviors, gain a better understanding of their needs, and discover how to encourage their presence in gardens.
Observations are conducted with respect for the birds and their peace and quiet, prioritizing an ethical and responsible approach.
This course is designed for individuals—whether beginners or amateur naturalists—who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in ornithology.
No prerequisites are required. The course is open to everyone and includes walking segments on well-maintained trails that do not present any significant physical challenges.
