Enigmatic cliff-dwelling songbirds, Wallcreepers live in mountainous regions in summer and spend their winters at lower altitudes, including on the vertical walls of cities, such as those of tall buildings, bridges, churches. Old and crumbling walls are particularly popular with the birds as they provide perches. Chapelle Venel has been loved and unloved, respected and disrespected over the years, and these poorly maintained walls would be appealing. Some birds may have come down from the limestone ridges of Mont Venture to spend winter in the chapel. This is the name of Montaigne St Victoire in the ancient poetic language of this area, Provençal (in English, Mountain of the Wind). |
