Don’t forget to look up in the R\u00e9muzat area… you can observe our famous birds here! The mountain massif of the Baronies is today home to the most important colony of griffon vultures in the Alps with around 200 productive flocks!
\nAnd that is not all! You may also be lucky enough to spot the black vulture, the Egyptian vulture and the bearded vulture… Don’t forget your binoculars!<\/p>\n
IT FLOATS IN FRONT OF THEM!
\nReintroduced to R\u00e9muzat in 1996, the vultures colonise all the magnificent cliffs of the Baronnies of Provence. Since R\u00e9muzat, you can discover the vultures (Griffon Vulture, Egyptian Vulture and Bearded Vulture) on several hiking trails. For non-hikers, their observation is possible from the terrace of the caf\u00e9 on the village square or the place de la Roubine, where a free observation goggle is installed. It makes it possible to follow the birds in their flight and place them in a cliff.<\/p>\n
The vultures enliven our skies and very often accompany us on our walks. The Baronnies massif is now home to the largest colony of Vultures in the Alps with around 200 breeding pairs. Since 2004, the Vulture monk, a globally threatened species, has also returned with still very small numbers (10 pairs). Attracted by the presence of these two species, the Egyptian vulture has spontaneously returned to the region for 15 years. This small Mediterranean vulture had disappeared from the Baronnies in 1981.<\/p>\n
Finally, the last link in this chain of scavenging birds of prey that feed on bone is the Bearded Vulture. Eight young have been reintroduced to the Baronnies since 2016.<\/p>\n
All these birds are strictly scavengers and feed on corpses from wildlife and domestic herds. They thus play the important role of “nature binders”.<\/p>\n
