Description

Le Petit Lac de Pannecière is a small lake located to the north of the much bigger Pannecière reservoir. The lakes are located at the confluence of the Yonne and the Houssière rivers. The ornithological observatory on Petit Lac de Pannecière is situated at the end of a 100 meter stilted walkway. This bird hide allows you to observe the birds of the small lake and the surrounding nature reserve in peace. This site is nice for a quick visit if you are in the area. Mostly common birds like Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Grey Heron, Water Rail, Eurasian Coot and different species of ducks. But during migration sometimes rarities turn up.
