Plateau de Faux-Issigeac

An agricultural plain that looks like a bocage, with here and there a few bushy plots of land, the diversity of crops and the hedges that separate them make it possible to look for the typical procession of the plains by quietly walking along all the small roads that cross the plateau. Several pairs of blatant oedemas are scattered over the site, and the autumn groupings can reach several 50 years old. Wheat quail in alfalfa, red partridge, and little bustard were still frequenting the site barely 5 years ago. Among the passerines, one will look for the sparrow, the pipit rousseline, the bunting bunting, as well as the red-backed shrike. The Red-headed Shrike is seen occasionally. Finally, harriers hunt here and there, and at least a couple of white elk, the first in the department, have settled east of the plateau in 2012.
