La route commence dans des labours vallonn\u00e9s dont sortent des \u00eelots arbor\u00e9s et des monticules de quartz qui n&rsquo;ont pas pu \u00eatre dompt\u00e9s. Cette alternance de milieux ouverts et de refuges denses a l&rsquo;air de convenir aux pitchous, que l&rsquo;on observe sans parvenir toutefois \u00e0 les prendre en photo. On surprend aussi le premier Rougequeue \u00e0 front blanc de ce printemps&nbsp;! Un beau m\u00e2le silencieux, noir et ocre avec une t\u00e2che blanche sur le front. Contrairement au Rougequeue noir, c&rsquo;est un migrateur transsaharien. En remontant dans les archives de cyclopithecus, notre premi\u00e8re observation au printemps 2022 remonte au 4 Mai, au beau milieu de la Su\u00e8de. Jusqu&rsquo;o\u00f9 celui-ci ira-t-il&nbsp;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une fois d\u00e9pass\u00e9e la derni\u00e8re zone bois\u00e9e, nous descendons vers une grande plaine aride. \u00c7a ressemble \u00e0 la plaine de Crau avec tous ces monticules de pierre, et les quelques ruines. Sur l&rsquo;une d&rsquo;entre elles nous observons une Chev\u00eache d&rsquo;Ath\u00e9na. \u00c0 cette distance on pourrait croire qu&rsquo;elle nous regarde alors qu&rsquo;elle est de dos, le dessin du plumage faisant appara\u00eetre comme une fausse t\u00eate. Les faucons, traquets et alouettes sont abondants mais nous faisons peu de pause car la chaleur nous assomme d\u00e9j\u00e0. Il nous faut de l&rsquo;ombre&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\"

plaine cultiv\u00e9e. Une r\u00e9serve cr\u00e9\u00e9e en 1992 dans le but de pr\u00e9server le milieu steppique menac\u00e9 par l&rsquo;agriculture intensive, agrandie au fil des ann\u00e9es par des rachats successifs de parcelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous attendons un instant au bord de l&rsquo;\u00e9tang principal, le temps de voir passer des Busards cendr\u00e9s, quand on nous fait signe de loin depuis une voiture. Les is\u00e9rois sont arriv\u00e9s&nbsp;! Sylvain, Christelle, Yves et Laurent ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 sorti les longue-vues point\u00e9es sur un Sirli de Dupont qui chante. Nous n&rsquo;\u00e9tions qu&rsquo;\u00e0 deux cent m\u00e8tres sans rien entendre. C&rsquo;est vraiment sur ce point pr\u00e9cis qu&rsquo;on les observe le mieux d&rsquo;apr\u00e8s Laurent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un fourgon arrive dans notre direction. On \u00e9carte notre mat\u00e9riel pour le laisser passer mais le v\u00e9hicule s&rsquo;arr\u00eate. La passag\u00e8re arbore un grand sourire et interpelle Laurent, aussi stup\u00e9fait qu&rsquo;elle de se retrouver ici. Fran\u00e7oise et Olivier, is\u00e9rois \u00e9galement, sont en voyage vers les destinations ornitho de l&rsquo;Espagne. Fran\u00e7oise a suivi la formation LPO dont Laurent encadre une partie des sorties de terrain, ce qui fait qu&rsquo;en ajoutant Sylvain, Christelle, Yves et Marine&nbsp;; Laurent a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9unir au Planer\u00f3n cinq personnes qu&rsquo;il a form\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un peu plus d&rsquo;un an que nous ne l&rsquo;avions pas vu et il reste fid\u00e8le \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame&nbsp;: un concentr\u00e9 d&rsquo;enthousiasme et d&rsquo;\u00e9nergie, surexcit\u00e9 quand il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;observer les oiseaux, et d&rsquo;une grande g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 pour partager sa passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une vieille camionnette blanche fonce vers nous, dans un panache de poussi\u00e8re qui aurait pu nous rendre aveugles si on avait p\u00e9dal\u00e9 derri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; \u00c7a, c&rsquo;est pas quelqu&rsquo;un qui vient voir les oiseaux, plaisante-t-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le v\u00e9hicule s&rsquo;arr\u00eate \u00e0 notre hauteur et le conducteur nous d\u00e9visage de haut en bas. Un homme \u00e2g\u00e9, bruni par le soleil pose son avant-bras rouge sur la porti\u00e8re et nous adresse la parole en donnant un coup de menton. Son espagnol est difficile \u00e0 comprendre car il mange les derni\u00e8res syllabes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; C&rsquo;est pas souvent qu&rsquo;il y a autre chose que des retrait\u00e9s par ici. Vous \u00eates l\u00e0 pour les oiseaux&nbsp;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On acquiesce, enfin pour ceux qui comprennent. Il continue, visiblement avide de savoir d&rsquo;o\u00f9 l&rsquo;on vient et o\u00f9 l&rsquo;on va dormir. C&rsquo;est un agriculteur du coin, soixante-dix ans et toujours pas \u00e0 la retraite (vous en France c&rsquo;est un peu le bazar avec vos manifestations, l\u00e0!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laurent rep\u00e8re un long \u00e9tui de coton beige sur le si\u00e8ge passager et lui demande (faussement na\u00eff) \u00e0 quoi cela sert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; La carabine? Si vous saviez&#8230; (on a un peu peur de la suite). Il pose une main calleuse sur sa poitrine et poursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Pour tout vous dire, j&rsquo;ai un petit chat qui m&rsquo;a mang\u00e9 le c\u0153ur (traduction litt\u00e9rale) et que je nourris en tuant des lapins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sur ce, il nous souhaite bonne continuation et fait demi-tour devant nous, sans consid\u00e9ration pour les touffes de thym qu&rsquo;on \u00e9vitait soigneusement de pi\u00e9tiner. Il \u00e9tait simplement venu nous voir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous restons au m\u00eame endroit, \u00e0 discuter devant la steppe aux sirlis, jusqu&rsquo;au coucher du soleil. Laurent a tout pr\u00e9vu pour la suite&nbsp;: coin bivouac tranquille \u00e0 quelques kilom\u00e8tres (que nous rejoignons \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re de nos frontales), tapas \u00e0 volont\u00e9, et un bon Rioja pour accompagner tout \u00e7a. Clou de la soir\u00e9e, nous confondons les saveurs d&rsquo;eau-de-vie maison, au point de devoir se resservir pour \u00eatre bien certain d&rsquo;avoir distingu\u00e9 la verveine du g\u00e9n\u00e9pi. Nous gagnons tout guillerets nos tentes respectives, et nous donnons la consigne de r\u00e9veil pour \u00eatre de retour sur la steppe des sirlis \u00e0 l&rsquo;aube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10 Avril. Pour r\u00e9compenser nos efforts d&rsquo;un r\u00e9veil ultra-matinal et d&rsquo;un lever de camp \u00e0 la frontale, les Sirlis de Dupont sont au rendez-vous dans la lumi\u00e8re du matin. Le contre-jour dessine le contour de l&rsquo;oiseau d&rsquo;un trait lumineux qui met en valeur sa silhouette au long bec courbe. D&rsquo;autres apparitions ult\u00e9rieures nous permettent d&rsquo;appr\u00e9cier toutes les nuances du plumage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/XC733812-Alouette-de-Dupont-Chersophilus-duponti.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/xeno-canto.org\/733812\">Sirli de Dupont<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fran\u00e7oise et Olivier viennent compl\u00e9ter l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe et nous discutons joyeusement sous le soleil qui monte, et que les cirrus nous voilent l\u00e9g\u00e8rement.

Nous prenons le d\u00e9jeuner au pied de l&rsquo;\u00e9glise de brique, tant que l&rsquo;ombre port\u00e9e du mur du parvis nous le permet.

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apr\u00e8s une longue ligne droite dans les galets qui font tout vibrer (heureusement que Gabriel a resserr\u00e9 toutes les vis de nos v\u00e9los hier!), nous bifurquons \u00e0 la hauteur d&rsquo;un chenil o\u00f9 les pensionnaires nous alpaguent. Les naturalistes ne nous pardonneront certainement pas notre exc\u00e8s d&rsquo;antropomorphisme, mais on ne peut pas s&#8217;emp\u00eacher d&rsquo;interpr\u00e9ter leurs aboiements&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Moi&nbsp;! Moi&nbsp;! Prenez-moi, je suis le plus gentil des toutous&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Moi&nbsp;! Moi&nbsp;! J&rsquo;adore les gratouilles et je monte jamais sur le canap\u00e9&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un dernier effort et nous sommes arriv\u00e9s sur l&rsquo;asphalte lisse, et la proximit\u00e9 de la ville se fait sentir peu \u00e0 peu. Cimeti\u00e8re, panneau stop, voitures, Hirondelles de fen\u00eatres, cris d&rsquo;enfants, et nous arrivons dans un jardin devant des \u00e9tablissements scolaires. Il sera parfait pour d\u00e9jeuner une fois les courses faites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les premiers kilom\u00e8tres de l&rsquo;apr\u00e8s-midi ne sont pas des plus amusants, sur une voie rapide avec des semi-remorques. \u00c0 quelques exceptions pr\u00e8s, nous nous faisons bien doubler. Les espagnols sont incroyablement courtois sur la route&nbsp;: d\u00e9passement large sur l&rsquo;autre voie (comme s&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agissait de doubler une voiture) et clignotant syst\u00e9matique. On n&rsquo;avait pas vu \u00e7a depuis la scandinavie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une station essence tombe \u00e0 pic pour remplir la bouteille de notre r\u00e9chaud \u00e0 essence. L&#8217;employ\u00e9e nous la remplit sans poser de question, alors que cela posait probl\u00e8me en Catalogne (on risquait soit-disant des milliers d&rsquo;euros d&rsquo;amende \u00e0 transporter du combustible dans une bouteille non homologu\u00e9e, alors que le r\u00e9chaud est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment pr\u00e9vu pour). Une petite chatte noire aux yeux verts vient demander des caresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encore un peu de piste \u00e0 travers des champs de colza dans lesquels chassent des Busards cendr\u00e9s puis nous retrouvons la route principale plein Ouest jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 la bifurcation indiquant Monegrillo. Nous avions rep\u00e9r\u00e9 une chapelle sur la route, dont le promontoire a l&rsquo;air parfait pour installer notre camp. Il y a de l&rsquo;ombre, un banc, des oiseaux. Une chouette se d\u00e9place sur le mur de la bergerie en ruine d&rsquo;\u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9. Que fixe-t-elle au sol de ses grands yeux jaunes&nbsp;? Un Traquet oreillard se perche. La couleur de la terre lui va si bien. Quelques instants plus tard, un renard s&rsquo;avance dans notre direction. Il ne nous a pas encore d\u00e9tect\u00e9s. Qu&rsquo;il est beau dans la lumi\u00e8re du soir&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410508-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Route de Monegrillo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_20230411_175932-1536x863.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-rotated.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410488-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclopithecus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1410465-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Traquet oreillard<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12 Avril.

On choisit de faire notre recherche de bivouac c\u00f4t\u00e9 pin\u00e8de o\u00f9 l&rsquo;on a plus de chance de trouver un abri contre le vent. Il y a une butte d\u00e9broussaill\u00e9e en belv\u00e9d\u00e8re sur la canop\u00e9e mais trop visible. On trouve finalement en contrebas de celle-ci un tout petit replat que nous devons d\u00e9barrasser de tous les r\u00e9sidus de d\u00e9broussaillage qui pourraient percer notre mat\u00e9riel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On constate avec horreur que la toile de tente est impr\u00e9gn\u00e9e de cacatcha. Il ne s&rsquo;agit pas d&rsquo;une danse d&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique latine mais de l&rsquo;odeur des engrais qui ont pris d&rsquo;assaut nos narines la nuit derni\u00e8re, au point de nous r\u00e9veiller en plein sommeil.

La lagune que Marine voulait explorer est battue par les vents, avec de l&rsquo;\u00e9cume \u00e0 la surface, ce n&rsquo;est pas la peine de tenter de s&rsquo;en approcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nous n&rsquo;avons encore aucune id\u00e9e du prochain bivouac.
