Descripción
There's no suggestion that Strasbourg city centre is an idyllic birdwatching destination for anyone visiting on a given morning or afternoon, and day-trippers should come with fairly low expectations. However, for those able to put in the time and effort, it offers some of the finest and most diverse inner-city birding around.
Various factors make Strasbourg a popular venue for birds. These include: its location on a North-South migration route near the Rhine, between the Vosges and Black Forest mountain ranges; the surrounding water (the city centre being located on an island that also happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site); and the large number of church spires and derelict lofts.
Pigeons are obviously ubiquitous but are not limited to Paloma Bravía. Paloma Zurita can be found nesting in unused chimneys and Paloma Torcaz are seen regularly. Corneja Negra are constantly heard marking out their territory and are occasionally joined by a Graja or two. Gulls are mostly Gaviota Patiamarilla and Gaviota Reidora.
Cigüeña Blanca are perhaps Alsace's most iconic bird and are commonly seen over the city, largely thanks to the highly successful breeding programme at the nearby Parc de l'Orangerie. Other large birds that can be watched passing overhead - usually following a NE-SW route - are Ánade azulón, Cormorán Grande, Barnacla canadiense grande, Ganso del Nilo and Garza Real.
Raptors are surprisingly common. Halcón Peregrino can be spotted on the cathedral, where they have a nesting box. Gavilán Común and Cernícalo vulgar are regular urban hunters. Busardo ratonero are often mobbed by crows. And both Milano Real and Milano Negro can be seen high up during migration periods.
One species that's easy to find between late April and late July is the Vencejo Común. They're particularly numerous between Place Kléber and Place Broglie.
Common passerines include Mirlo Común, which can be heard singing in the evening, Carbonero Común, Herrerillo Común, Gorrión Común and Colirrojo Tizón, the latter of which nest here. There are also quite a lot of Verderón Común. Occasional sightings include Lavandera Blanca, Petirrojo Europeo, Lavandera Cascadeña, Jilguero Europeo and Mosquitero Común.

Accesso
Come to Strasbourg by any means: bus, train, tram, car... If you're driving, then the Opera car park on Place Broglie is quite useful for motorway access and for not getting caught up in the one-way system.
