Description
The river Conie emerges from the Beauce phreatic table and thus the site's interest varies from year to year depending on water level. Surrounding fields are excellent for Чурулин and the common suite of cropland species include обично грмушарче, кукумјавка and обично страче. If the river has water, waders can occur both in the river bed itself and in water patches in surrounding fields. Herons (incl. црвена чапја), трскар рогозар and полски трскар breed if water level is sufficient. орел рибар, црн штрк and other migrants may occur, mostly in spring migration. жолтоного блатарче is a rare but regular (yearly) passage migrant in large fields surrounding the valley. In winter, блатен був may roost in wastelands around and large parties of калуѓерка and златно блатарче gather especially under cold weather.

From Châteaudun, a good start is to reach Moléans, then move eastwards to Conie-Molitard, Vallière, Nottonville, Varize, Péronville, Villeneuve sur Conie and leave the area through Patay. Make stops wherever the habitat looks good to you. For жолтоного блатарче, the area between Péronville, Bazoches en Dunoy and Cormainville is probably the best. Чурулин) can be found anywhere in this area. мала чучулига used to breed here but no breeder has been confirmed since the 2000's (the species may still occur during migrations).
