Day 1 - Les Moussières - Les Bouchoux - La Pesse - Choux
Meeting at our accommodation late morning, we will start this bird photography tour with a nice walk and a first approach to Franche-Comté’s birdlife in high altitude, mainly forest areas. Enjoying this beautiful landscape full of photo opportunities, our quest will focus on the Eurasian Pygmy-owl and the Boreal Owl. It will also be an opportunity to observe some of the most common and emblematic species of the Jura mountains: Fieldfare, Red Crossbill, Eurasian Treecreeper, Coal Tit, Willow Tit and Crested Tit, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Bullfinch, Eurasian Siskin etc. Harder to spot but present in this sector, we will be able, with a little luck to cross the discreet Hazel Grouse.
An evening can also be devoted to listening to nocturnal raptors and enjoy this special atmosphere, without significant light pollution. The Boreal Owl and the Eurasian Pygmy-owl will be targeted first.
