The Pyrenees is a range of mountains between the Iberian Peninsula and France. The habitats include snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows and vertical rock faces and host some fascinating wildlife species from unique birds such as the black woodpecker, lammergeier, citril finch and wallcreeper to numerous butterflies, including the Camberwell beauty, and even moon moths. This webpage collates the photographs and findings from six trips covering the winter, spring and summer seasons. The spring migration brings extra diversity to the bird population with Northern wheatears and Water Pipits feeding on the alpine pastures, swallows, martins and raptors including Osprey, Booted Eagle and Black Kite following the rivers, and flycatchers and warblers lining the route. Spring also brings breeding migrant species such as Egyptian vulture. The clear air and low light pollution offers great views on The Moon.
