Le Village de Pecheurs, Canet-en-Roussillon

Just came across this place on my way to the beach! Very nice little walk if your passing.

We were very lucky with weather today One, it was bitterly cold, clear but still and sunny. The lighting was great for seeing the colours of the birds' plumage and also highlighting the various surrounding hills. One of the best parts of our visit today was lots of flamingos, however they were over on the other bank so rather far away. Fine for binoculars or photographers with big telephoto lenses though. A large group of beautiful swans were very close to the shore, one in particular was giving a beautiful display and fluffing his wings up around him like a ballerina. Also seen today cormorants, many great crested grebes, a reed bunting, a hoopoe, a kestrel, and several others. Walking was a bit squishy underfoot today in a couple of places but nothing drastic. Comfortable walking shoes are best but trainers would be fine as nothing too uneven and there are decent sandy paths around the reserve. Might be heavy going in a wheelchair though so probably best for people that are able to walk. Having said that if you can manage even a short walk or have a strong person to push a wheelchair to near the edge of the water you will have an amazing view and lots of bird life to watch.
