We walked in, talking quietly, and found ourselves with a small group of people with big goals, searching for bird images.

The Observatory overlooking Mittlere Au, nestled in the Petite Camargue Alsacienne nature reserve, is a true sanctuary for nature lovers. From this privileged vantage point, you can admire the splendor of the wetlands, where water and vegetation create a habitat teeming with life. The site is home to a wide variety of species: grey herons scan the calm waters, kingfishers burst forth in a burst of vivid colors, and great crested grebes glide silently across the surface. Majestic swans flit among the reeds, while migratory ducks occasionally enliven the landscape. As the seasons change, the wildlife evolves, offering constantly renewed spectacles to keen observers. This site is a window onto the richness of biodiversity, where each glance reveals a new wonder of the natural world.
