Can anyone inform me if there is an equivalent of "Bird Guides" in France? I have read of reports of bee eaters near Pointe de la Torche and since we will be staying nearby this June, I would love to find them. All the reports are at least 2 years old.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks Roger

I'm not aware of a Bird Guides equivalent. The nearest thing may be the Ornithomedia website; that records sightings of rarities but is often several hours behind the event!

Others may be aware of something more in line with Bird Guides; and also more about specific birds.

There are local bird websites through the 'LPO' site. These may be useful and generally have informationj about recent sightings.

Here is an example of one for my area.
