Bird Migration at the Point

Accompanied by a naturalist guide from the LPO Vendée, come and discover the migration of passerines (swallows, wagtails, etc.) during a walk in the dunes of Pointe de l'Aiguillon.

A daily count every fall

The Pointe de l'Aiguillon is a must-see for many passerines migrating in autumn, and is a privileged site for bird-watching in the Vendée.
Since 1993, LPO Vendée volunteers gathered at the “migration camp” to count the birds in transit through the Pointe.
This count takes place every morning from September 1 to November 30, from sunrise until noon.Learn more about bird migration at Point de l'Aiguillon here
To share this experience and discover this heritage (which we hope will last even if the bird populations studied are not doing well), the volunteers who ensure this daily count invite the public to come and take a look at theseen on the occasion of the Heritage Days.

A obs point, what is it?

The team of the LPO Vendée welcomes you at observation points, here based at the Pointe de l'Aiguillon, and puts optical equipment at your disposal to observe birds. Come whenever you want and stay the time you want!
