    Hiking

    Observatory facing an artificial perch.
    In recent years, many pairs of storks have taken up residence for the winter in Châteauneuf.
    They arrive in January.
    And around July 15th, the little ones, who will be eight to nine weeks old, will regroup and leave for Africa. The adults, who have spent the spring feeding them, will wait until the beginning of August to take off.

    This observatory was placed opposite a stork nest. I was lucky enough to observe some, but you can also see a lot of them all along the "path" of the Storks. "Path" which is in places the road, in places the path and in places the path.
    Storks are migratory birds so you won't necessarily see them all year round. In general they leave at the end of summer, when the marshes are too dry, and return in mid-winter when they are swollen again and not too cold.

    Hiking

    A beautiful hike with a start in a small wooded path from the cemetery then a paved road with little traffic to arrive at the observatory storks and babies in May it is ideal to bring binoculars.
