New Trip Report: Desmans in the French Pyrenees
A nice – and very detailed – report from Ben Balmford on how to see a Desman in the mountains south of Bordeaux.
Desman Hunt, Pyrenees, 2020: Ben Balmford, 4 nights and a Desman.

Hi Ben,
Sorry that I only just spotted this comment – my bad entirely. We’d followed you previously in search of pygmy hippo in SL. No hippo, but some great mammals. That was in Jan/Feb 2020 – a report that I am most of teh way through writing very slowly! Again, your report there was very helpful
Thanks
Ben

Nice report. Very interesting to see that the desman remains in the exact same place as the one described in Ben’s report and mine published a couple of years ago. I recognize in your pictures the same rock where I saw the desman as well during the daylight. I didn’t know that desman could live so long.

Great report! Your photos bring back memories of that beautiful site and its strange denizen. My best observation was in nearly the same place as yours (I was standing next to the rock rather than on it).
I’m happy that you found my report helpful. Out of curiosity, what other site did you visit based on one of my reports?
Best,
Ben
