The birdlife here in the Pyrenees is very specialised. The area excels in the number and variety of raptors- Bearded Vulture (five pairs nesting locally); Golden Eagle (found on the mountainside opposite Les Sorbiers); Booted Eagle, Bonelli`s Eagle, Short-Toed Eagle, Egyptian Vulture, and the ever-present Griffon. Even a couple of Black Vultures. The bird most enthusiasts will want to see is the elusive Wallcreeper which during the summer is seldom found below 2000m.
