An introduction to France for anyone visiting with birds in mind,
from casual birdwatchers checking a bird that flies over the
terrace during a family holiday to addict birders who would sell
their souls for a dream species or a record-breaking checklist.
Some may have just a few spare hours to get their binoculars out
between business meetings or museum visits, others will be out in
the field for two weeks or more, from sunrise to sunset. The
authors wrote this book for all bird lovers, birdwatchers and
birders, whatever the duration of their stay, the number of
kilometres they are prepared to travel and how they enjoy birds.
With over 400 regularly occurring species, of which 357 normally
breed or winter, France has one of the most diverse avifaunas of
the whole of Europe, spanning an incredible range from colourful
Mediterranean flagship species such as roller, bee-eater or
black-winged kite to secretive cold-climate or mountain specialists
like three-toed woodpecker and Tengmalm's owl. The Birdfinder
section provides targeted details for 30 species which often rank
in the top wish-list of birders visiting France. Dividing the
country into 14 regions, the authors highlight 312 representative
sites, chosen for their bird species composition and ease of
access. The selected sites enable the reader to see the widest
possible species diversity and largest range of local specialities
in a reasonable time, while respecting the basic ethical rules
obvious to all birdwatchers. Whenever possible, sites are arranged
in clusters or itineraries that can be covered in two to three days
without hurrying. To supplement the use of the book in the field,
all the sites described are geolocated in a file that can be
downloaded from the publisher's website and loaded onto any GPS
device.
