OK for birding in and around Paris for birdwatchers who have 1-2 days free in Paris and want to discover some birds around. I'm not always free, but try! (phone number: 0033689882231). As we always do in France, we share the gas cost between the different people present in my car. P Ricordel Paris(Saint Omer, Pas de Calais - 62) Weekend French/EnglishSpanish Paris is not really right area to visit for birds, but sometimes. I am more a bird photographer than a birdwatcher, I do phtograph mainly in France, and sometimes abroad. My Week-end location is north of France near Saint Omer (Pas de Calais - 62), where you can find many more species of birds than in Paris. Feel free to ask more details, I will be pleased to answer you.

Local specialities include, Blue Throats, White Storks, Avocetes, Spoonbills, Great White Herons, Cattle Egrets, Night Herons, Purple Herons, Scquacco Herons, Corncrakes, Cetti's Warblers, All three types of Harrier, Hobby, Black Kites, Honey Buzzard and more...
