Birdwatching in Brittany

Discover the many fascinating bird species that call Brittany home

Brittany is fortunate to have a wide variety of environments within its borders. Rocky coasts, cliffs, capes, islands and islets, dunes, protected bays and estuaries, marshes, ponds, wet meadows and peat bogs, rivers, woods and forests, moors, ridges and gorges offer perfect conditions for wildlife to thrive.

With Roscoff Birding Nature, their short trips are perfect opportunities to discover the birds that live in the vicinity of Roscoff, Santec, Saint Pol de Léon, Carantec and Cléder.

Although the variety of birds you might see depends on the tide and the time of year, dozens of sites are accessible across a wide variety of natural environments.

Their half-day trip allows you to explore a larger area, mainly to the south and west. Piers, beaches, inlets, dunes and wooded areas are all accessible. Birding enthusiasts love the dune areas of Santec, Plougoulm, Cléder, Plouescat and Tréflez. To the south, the popular ridges of the Monts d'Arrée are worth visiting.

Some outings are worthy of taking a full day with trips available to locations like the Ile de Batz in the north, most of the circuits in the Monts d'Arrée, and outings with several sites in succession, such as the coast to the west. If you are looking for remote sites such as at Douarnenez Bay, the Crozon Peninsula, Audierne Bay and Penmarc'h, Lorient, Saint Brieuc Bay or Cap Fréhel, they also offer one-day trips to these areas.
