ORNITHOLOGY
Once the migrants have left, the sedentary birds come to life in winter, much to our delight. An ideal time to learn how to recognize local species, we suggest a birdwatching hike to observe these fascinating animals.

Ornithology: an immersive experience!
Passionate about nature for as long as I can remember, I pursued a scientific and educational path that led me to become an environmental educator.
Introducing biodiversity to as many people as possible, teaching them to recognise species and understand their behaviour and ecology, and debunking misconceptions is, to me, essential to protecting the environment.
By providing a better understanding of nature and how it works, fears are dispelled and fascination and respect are instilled.
For that, there’s nothing like immersing yourself in nature outings focused on ornithology. That’s why teaching and sharing has driven me for nearly 10 years, and I’d be delighted to take you to observe the natural wonders that surround us.
