Today I am sharing with you photos taken two weeks ago during a Sunday outing at about 1 1/2 hours by car from home,
in the Jura massif and straddling two French departments that are the Ain and the Jura
It is the lake of Coiselet which is an artificial lake resulting from the dam of the same name
I invite you discover impressive views from the belvedere of the cliffs of Chancia ...
This 6 km long lake was formed in 1970 during the construction of the upstream dam
The signs below inform that this is an exceptional point of view to discover the birds
It's written that many species of birds fly over the Biel valley below, some nest in the nearby cliffs
and here are the birds that with a little patience we can expect to see flying over the place :
the black kite
the kestrel
the peregrine falcon
the white-bellied swift
the common raven, a massive bird the size of a buzzard
and this one explains how the flight hunt of the Peregrine Falcon takes place :
the hawk takes off abruptly at first; wings widely projected above the back
It then gains height, with a few flaps of beaten wings, regular and fast enough, to take up a position in the distance opposite the coveted prey.
After being placed high enough, it dives suddenly, its wings close to the body, stabbing towards its prey at a dizzying speed of up to 200 km / h
At the end of its course, the falcon modifies its flight and tilts on its back, paws thrown forward, to seize or violently strike its prey.
With the successful capture, the pilgrim returns, prey in the talons, towards the cliff where it will consume it after having plucked it.
However, this impressive flight hunt is only successful about once in ten.

Does look like a nice day with nice views all around.
oh yes it was fantastic to enjoy such landscapes ! ☺️
That's a beautiful look out spot of the lake. That's really cool that it's a man made lake. Interesting!
it is in my region of the two savoys that there are the most lakes in France ... probably because of the mountains and the natural lakes coming from the glaciers ... well I suppose ... in any case all these lakes, natural or not are magnificent because surrounded by the mountains, which gives them, seen from above, a majesty, as well as a particular color ...☺️
Amazing nature!
Such a great view...
Yes, I'm sometimes amazed to have such scenery just before me, without having to travel much...😉 Beauty is all around when you seek for it and focus on it ! ☺️
Oh, the view!! The gentle curvature of the water makes such a beautiful picture. You know exactly how to conjure up those breathtaking shots.
Good morning from Washington, DC!

Yes I have seen some raptors from afar and have wished I was a "real" photographer with decent tools to photographed tham, but with my Ipad I shoot only landscapes and be anyway happy with the result....so the birds I never photograph them, so to say, and that's why I so enjoy watching and admiring at the photos in the community 😍
You have outstanding images of the landscape. I thought you did them with camera.
The view is splendid and seeing the raptors must be really exciting.
That is an amazing view, almost looks like a dream!
I agree, this is kind of dream view and difficult to stop taking photos when you are in front of this, fearing to miss a piece you would not have shown...😁 Thanks much for your appreciation @mmckinneyphoto13 !
