Where to watch birdsat Lac du Der?
To facilitate your observations, suitable structures are available on the shores of Lac du Der and the surrounding ponds.
On the dike
Located to the south of the lake, it’s an ideal vantage point from which to watch Sandhill Cranes take to the skies in the early hours of the morning or return from the fields. Numerous islands in front of the dike are ideal for parking birds during migration.
La Presqu'îlede Champaubert
At the foot of the building, you’ll have a view of the exit from the south basin in front of the large footbridge. In winter, large numbers of birds come here to swim and land on the mud banks opposite.
Close to ports
To the south of Lac du Der, the harbor of the nautical station is often occupied by birds, summer and winter alike. Barn swallows, window swallows, black-headed gulls and common terns take advantage of the facilities to land and flutter around you.
