Ornithology
The
two main areas for ornithologists are the Coast and the Mountains.
On
the coast the most familiar bird is the Flamingo with its main
breeding grounds in the Camargue.There is a brief selection of
websites below. The first site by Jeremy Josephs shows the passion
and dedication these wonderful birds can create in people. The
other sites provide pictures and more background.

Ariege.com website is a great site for finding out about the area.

Hart. For instance try this web

Libre on 24th July 2004 reported that brown bears ( ours bruns
) were being successfully reintroduced to the Pyrenees. Re settlement
began in 2000. As expected the paper reports problems with local
farmers worried about live stock losses
