Our photographer arrived in Vendée, the first stage of the journey, where large populations of water birds come to spend the winter.
Based on the Chanteloup ONCFS reserve, he will participate in duck-catching operations on the Reserve Naturelle de la Baie l'Aiguillon alongside the ONCFS and the LPO.
Scientists pose transmitters to track bird movements and study their use of the natural habitat. These studies are carried out as part of the Projet Life Baie de l'Aiguillon.
