Birding in France V
3 - 9 April 2026
In order to visit family, we decided to go to France, for a short week in early April 2026, and during this week, I will try see as many interesting bird species as possible. We will be spending most of our time in Brittany, in the North-West of France.

Today, we woke up early, in order to see a few good bird species at the nearby marsh. Our first good sighting came in the form of Beaver, a species I've never seen before.

During the time we were there, we heard countless bird species, but only got views on a few. We saw a Black Kite and a Marsh Harrier, and I got a recording of a Little Grebe, however the recording wasn't saved, so I no longer have it.

Later on that day, I went back out with my mum. We saw a few good birds, but the main highlight of the outing were the butterflies. One of the species my mum saw was a Grizzled Skipper, a species I saw in my grandmother's garden yesterday, but didn't manage to take a photo.
Here are some photos we took:
