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.

Nightjar

Seen and heard in May, presumed passage birds, but churring also heard in the summer months, just outside the village, presumed to be breeding birds. Bird seen at very close quarters 1/07/04, which flew around me twice, obviously very curious and late churring bird heard 5/8/04.
