A campaign to deter starlings will begin on Friday, October 16, targeting the plane trees on Place des Recollets and Rue Reynaud de la Gardette in Bollène.

Following an invasion of starlings in the plane trees on Place des Recollets and Rue Reynaud de la Gardette, a deterrence operation is planned starting Friday, October 16.
This campaign, carried out by the company Bec Fauconnerie, will involve deterrence using Harris hawks, a laser, and the launching of noise rockets. The latter will be used as little as possible, and no later than 10 PM.
The intervention will take place from sunset until the starlings depart. For information, five consecutive evenings are generally sufficient for the colony to leave the area.
