French Bird Sightings

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.

http://www.faune-aquitaine.org/

Here is an example of one for my area.
