Dancing Pigeon and Birds of Nature

Ranked #13,004 in Pets & Animals, #343,906 overall

A Dancing Pigeon and other birds in their natural habitat

In southern France a Pigeon is filmed having a dance on the handrail of a footbridge over the pond at le lac du parc Bordelais (the park of Bordeaux) in which a swan stretches its wings and ducks swim on the water. The video then switches to parc ornithologique de Teich (Ornithological Park), a bird park at the Bassin D'Arcachon near Bordeaux in southern France where another swan stretches its wings, Storks nest, a duck walk up to the camera and other birds living and feeding in their natural wetlands habitat.

Following an over view of these two parks you are invited to sit back and watch the video.

Le lac du parc Bordelais

The lake of the park of Bordeaux

The lake of the park of BordeauxDu parc Bordelais (park of Bordeaux) is a very pleasant park situated away from the town centre in one of the nearby suburbs, and with an attractive (quite large man-made pond) in the centre, habited by swans and ducks, it's a great way to finish the day after your visit to the centre of the city walking around the famous Bordeaux shopping centre.

Parc Ornithologique

Ornithological Park

Ornithological ParkOrnithological meaning Bird; the Park located in Teich, Arcachon and less than an hour's drive from Bordeaux, southern France, is a wetlands wildlife park similar to Slimbridge. The habitat is well preserved and forms part of a natural environment supporting the best part of 300 different species of birds. The wetlands includes swamps, mud-flats, humid meadows and well established fish ponds and is in the flight path of a major migratory route used by these birds

For the public visiting the park which has been open to visitors since 1972 it makes for a pleasant half day out with a three mile round trip along a series of paths with hides and observation points located at regular intervals; or a shorter around part of the park if you don't fancy the full route.

Typically on your walk around the park you are sure to encounter many birds including storks nesting in their tress, the usual ducks, swans and herons and maybe the Black-winged Stilt or the Common Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) and possibly the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta).

Bassin D'Arcachon

Basin of Arcachon

Basin of ArcachonThe Basin of Arcachon is an inland sea, a bay surrounding on three sides by land and is therefore protected from the ravages of the Atlantic sea so the water is always calm and ideal for swimming. Arcachon is the largest town in this basin, hence the name of the bay. Also standing on the shores of the bay is the famous Dune of Pyla, a natural sand dune over 100 metres high making it the tallest in Europe. And in the middle of this most beautiful bay is 'Ile aux Oiseaux' (bird island); a nature reserve for birds where a number of pile dwellings have been built for their habitation.
