Grand Tétras.
The Grand Tétras was set back in the forest that you crossed on the way there. This rare bird species is extremely sensitive to changes or disturbances in its natural environment. In the spring the males gather to parade their tail and make a strange noise. (sounds like uncorking a wine bottle). Mont Lozère was almost completely deforested at the beginning of the last century, largely due to the residence of thousands of sheep. At the beginning of the 20th century, to prevent erosion, reforestation was done by the local population.
