'The Ariege is one of the hidden gems of France with its rolling hills, mixed farmland and deciduous woodlands. In one afternoon, we saw more than 50 species of birds, four species of reptiles and hundreds of insects. It really is a naturalists' paradise'.

Iolo Williams, Wildlife Television Presenter

We assisted Iolo and his Aden Productions team to film

Bee-eaters and local wildlife in the Leze Valley in May 2011.
