Site list. Nearly 190 birds have been seen at Mas d'Auphan, i.e. within "binocular distance", over the years. That list (click here for the list - it will open in MS Word) is confined to our lowland habitats (the list for the Camargue numbers well over 300). We can tell you where to see particular birds locally, e.g. wetland or upland species, and have good contacts with local ornithologists for specialised information. For the latest hotspots and observations in the area you can consult http://oiseauxprovence.free.fr/glareola-index.htm or http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/obsmedit/.
