Descrição
The Cirque de Navacelles is an exceptionally scenic meander of the Vis river, running in a deep canyon that enlarges locally in a near-circular shape. Grifo-comum, Águia-real, Melro-azul and Melro-d'água can be expected year round. In winter Trepadeira-dos-muros occurs on cliffs but finding them is a hard task.
The surrounding Causses host a nice diversity of mediterranean species, with Cotovia-pequena, Trigueirão and other garrigue-related species. In spring (April - June), expect Petinha-dos-campos, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, Picanço-barreteiro, Toutinegra-carrasqueira, Toutinegra-real and the suite of common breeders usually found in semi-open habitats. In the nicest habitats, for instance along the road between Blandas and La Rigalderie, Sombria can be found quite easily.
Detalhes
Acesso
The Cirque de Navacelles lies between the limestone plateaus of the Causse du Larzac and the Causse de Blandas, deep within the Grands Causses area of the Cévennes. There are many options to visit the area. One is to park in Blandas (1), north to the Cirque, and the easiest way from Montpellier. From there you can reach the Cirque by foot on a small track (follow signs). Alternatively, there is a parking lot just near the main viewpoint (2). Unless you want to try for Melro-d'água, there is no real justification to drive down to the bottom of the Cirque. Instead, keep time for the viewpoint where vultures, eagles and rock thrushes often show up.
For breeders, follow tracks or drive on the Causse. The small road leading to La Rigalderie is a nice starting point, but there are lots of other possibilities, for instance Le Quintanel or Le Barral areas. You will find roughly the same habitats and species on the southern side, which is easier to access from the A75 motorway (eg if you want to connect with vulture colonies along the Jonte gorges).
