Birds of the Prairies - From Mesches to Plan Tendasque

The southern slopes of the upper Roya Valley constitute an essential environment for certain rare bird species such as the bartavelle. This species is endemic to the Alps and has seen its numbers decline due to the last ice ages and the exploitation of the mountain by man over the last two centuries.

The slopes of the Plan Tendasque offer an ideal setting to try to observe this elusive species, or others such as the circaetus, the eagle, or the passeriformes.
