Description

The woods, meadows and Botanical Gardens surrounding the historic and dramatic Chateau de Vincennes host common european species such as nesting populations of Stock Dove, Kestrel, Black Redstart and Grey Wagtail.

After walking the grounds of the Château we will look for Black and Middle-spotted Woodpecker, Marsh Tit, European Jay, Common Kingfisher, Common Buzzard, Mistle and Song Thrush, Common Redstart and Hobby – among many, many others. Also witness and learn about the birds unique behaviors as we adopt a « slow-birding » approach in this natural urban oasis. During spring and fall migration one can also see willow warbler, whitethroat, hawfinch, pied flycatcher and even red kite migrating overhead.
