Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can shed some information on catching the following species in Paris:
Black Woodpecker,
Lesser and Middle Spotted Woodpecker,
Firecrest.
The website for Parc des Beaumonts looks promising for good birdwatching but I can't find a contact for it, while I have heard that the nearby Bois de Vincennes is also a good spot.
Thanks

A quick Google search produced this site:-

All the best

Fontainebleau should have all of those species, though it's a bit out of the city. Fairly easy and quick to get to on the train from central Paris though.

Ditto Fontainbleu, we got both there years ago but Black was extremely shy.

Dipped Grey-headed on that trip though.
