Beschrijving

Étangs de Mizérieux are two small ponds located in mature woodland along the Loire. You can easily explore the area on foot. When we visited in July we saw two Wielewaal, five Kwak, a colony of herons, Zomertortel, Nachtegaal, and a family of muskrats. The Kwak were shy, but not really hidden at all. Together with the Wielewaal, Zwarte Wouw and Koereiger flying it was already a wonderful visit. But then we also saw and heard Nachtegaal and Zomertortel, and the usual smaller birds. All easy to observe. On the first pond you can also enjoy the family of muskrats, 7 members. I think I also heard a Griel, but I'm not entirely sure. We were there with a camper, and it is a very good place to spend the night.
