Description
Les Prairies de Saint-Maurice-en-Rivière can be explored by agricultural paths that allow you to cross a whole complex of hay meadows. In this way you can easily observe typical species such as Eurasian Curlew, Whinchat, Western Yellow Wagtail, Corn Bunting. It is one of the last sites to host the Corn Crake. In wet springs, one can have the chance to see/hear the Spotted Crake or the Baillon's Crake. In the few wastelands one can observe the Zitting Cisticola and the winter Hen Harrier and Short-eared Owl can be seen there.
