Your recordings are available to you at any time as a personal record and are also used to build a departmental record.  The Swiss system allows you to pinpoint exactly where each bird was seen.  At present only the Aquitaine site has English as an option.  They are:  http://haute-savoie.lpo.fr/  http://www.faune-aquitaine.org/  http://franche-comte.lpo.fr/  http://www.faune-vendee.org/  http://www.faune-paca.org/  http://www.faune-auvergne.org/  http://vienne.lpo.fr/  http://www.faune-loire.org/  http://www.faune-loire-atlantique.org/  For people in La Vienne, (86), that would like to use this facility in the future but find it difficult "to get their heads round it" I can arrange a visit to the office for small groups to have it explained, and at the same time meet a few people on the team who will be happy to answer your questions in English. Anyone that would be interested - please contact me.  Chris    http://www.planetepassion.eu Association Planete Passion - French Wildlife in the English Language    Report

We have a crane living locally for 5 years. We have seen Pine Martins about at the moment. Where on the River Lisle are the European Mink? Beaver are in 24 but where?

He was incredible in amongst all the dogs, just a few feet away from them.  He was there all the time sitting on their water bowls having a drink, then shaking his head.  At first I was frightened they would get him, but they didn't seem to take much notice as if they had got used to him.  If one did chase him, he would just fly up a bit into a tree or on the kennel bars, then down again.  If we went out the other side at the front of the house, he would sometimes be there as if he was looking for company.  There was plenty of food on the bird table.  Then when it wasn't so cold we saw him less and now he doesn't seem to be around.        I don't know if you can see him being stalked by Saya and now up in the tree.        If you can, could you please tell me what he is.  I know most dog breeds, but not so good at the birds!  What would he eat in the Winter?   Animal Aid Saint Aubin "Saving the life of one animal may not change the world, but the world will surely change for that one animal"    Report
