Description
Mont Caroux represents the eastern limit of the Espinouse mountains. There is a rich forestry area where you can have a chance to see Wryneck, Melodious Warbler, Western Bonelli's Warbler and Eurasian Nuthatch. There are also areas of heath which are home to Red-backed Shrike, Black Kite and Griffon Vulture. And look out for Golden Eagle. More than 10 pairs breed in the area. Although visible all year round, this large raptor preferably performs acrobatic courtship displays in January and February. Other interesting birds you can see in the area are Short-toed Snake Eagle, Common Rock Thrush, Blue Rock Thrush, Eurasian Scops Owl, Sardinian Warbler Goldcrest and Rock Bunting. In winter you have a chance to see Wallcreeper, Alpine Accentor and White-winged Snowfinch in the area.
