Audresselles

Audresselles (French pronunciation: [odʁəsɛl]; Dutch: Oderzele; Picard: Auderselle) is a commune south of Cape Gris Nez in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.

Between the end of English occupation in 1558 and the middle of the 17th century, Audresselles seigneury included Haringzelle hamlet; today, this is now a forest hiding the former German artillery batteries of Audinghen.

This seigneury was owned by the Acary family, which gave some admirals to the French fleet and from whom most of the borough fishermen are descended.

Birds found here include gulls, cormorants, jackdaws, loons, mallards, bitterns, sandpipers, snipes, oystercatchers, herons, curlews, egrets, guillemots, peregrine falcons, swans, and geese.

Species include lyciet, privet, spindle-tree, eleagnus, speedwell, marram grass and Armeria maritima.
