Les Cygnes tuberculés à Saint Tropez
Yann Maurey Administrateur Régional de Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux Golfe de Saint Tropez (spécialiste de la Faune Sauvage) tient à apporter des informations complémentaires sur les Cygnes se trouvant à Saint Tropez. Nous les suivons depuis 3 Semaines en toute discrétion. La première semaine ils étaient aux Marines de Cogolin (à proximité de l’usine des torpilles), depuis 2 semaines ils sont à la Bouillabaisse. Le Cygne tuberculé (Cygnus olor) de l’ordre des Ansériformes, famille des Anatidae est normalement très confiant, voir semi-apprivoisé. Les couples sont agressifs envers les intrus, recourant à d’impressionnantes parades, ailes écartées, avec des sifflements en période de nidification. C’est uniquement la femelle qui couve les œufs.

La période de nidification commence en Mars et se termine en juin, 1 seule ponte (max 8 œufs) par an. Pour nos 2 vacanciers à plûmes la donne est différente, ils ne se reproduiront pas cette année par manque de site de nidification adéquate à la Bouillabaisse. Sans compter le dérangement causé par les touristes s’ils arrivent à nidifier au bord de plage dans des conditions précaires.

Actuellement ils se nourrissent d’algues et de pain donné par la population ou les restaurateurs de plage que je remercie.

Les 2 Cygnes sont bagués poussins au nid : M 5359 et M 5360, d’ici une semaine et demi voir 2semaines nous pourrons savoir l’historique de leur vie (depuis la naissance) grâce à la base de données Internationale, mais ce qui est sûr, après observation des bagues ils ont été bagués en Italie par l’INFS d’Ozzano (Istituto Natzionale per la Fauna Selvetica) en Français (Institut National de la Faune Sauvage)

Pour l’instant nous ne pouvons sexés les Cygnes par manque d’informations complémentaires.
Nous vous tiendrons au courant
