Bird Index


The following is a summary of birds seen around the village of Autignac since our arrival in October 2000 and is not considered exhaustive. It will be continually updated as the full picture develops year by year. References to the “Parc” refer to the Parc naturel regional du Haut-Languedoc, the southern boundary of which lies just to the north of the village.

Fieldfare

A flock of c.20 flew N.E. after a spell of particularly cold weather in December 2003 and a similar sized flock did exactly the same on 7/12/05 - thereafter quite widespread, perhaps reflecting the hard winter in 2005/6. On 19/01/09, c.12 flew over, heading NW.

Firecrest

Seen as for goldcrest, sometimes the two together. December 2000 was a particularly good month for this gem, when they seemed to be everywhere, but presumably most then moved on with the season. Also seen in suitable breeding habitat in the spring, including display at Gorg d'Heric in April, to the north of the village.
