Marquenterre Ornithological Park

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:01:19

An astonishing 360 species of bird have been sighted at this 2.6-sq-km ornithological park, an important migratory stopover between the UK, Iceland, Scandinavia and Siberia and the warmer climes of West Africa. Three marked walking circuits (2km to 6km) take you to marshes, dunes, meadows, freshwater ponds, a brackish lagoon and 12 observation posts, or you can tour the park by horse-drawn cart. Binoculars can be rented at the reception. It's a circuitous 10km northwest of Le Crotoy.
