Things to see and do Calvados

In the village of Saint-Samson and Hotot-en-Auge, this 104 hectare reserve welcomes birds in full migration, offering them food and tranquility. For them, it is an important wintering and stopover site at the Lower Normandy scale. In winter, 70-80% of the site's surface is water. The rest of the year, the reserve is dried, allowing for maintenance and grazing. All the faunistic wealth of the site reveals itself from the top of the observatory where long views are available. A second observatory, located on the water side, allows you to approach birds. Good idea: naturalized species in windows will allow you to recognize the different peoples present and identified. The guided visits are provided by the Federation of Hunters of Calvados, owner of the site, assisted by various cynegetic associations of the department. A fascinating walk, for big and small.
