About this book

Language: French

Inspired by the RSPB's learnbirding.com website, this great new book will launch beginner birders of all ages into the world of birds and bird watching. The book has been split into six sections which detail: principles of identification and tips on making notes and recording; bird watching equipment and field skills; how birds are built, how they work and where they come from; behaviour including breeding, feeding, migration and adaptation; bird habitats and distribution; and, how to help wild birds in your garden and beyond, current threats to birds and how to get involved in conservation.

Summary in French:
Les ornithologues chevronnés semblent doués de pouvoirs magiques. Ils sont capables d’identifier une espèce d’oiseau en un coup d’œil, même à grande distance – parfois, semble-t-il, sans même lever les yeux sur elle. Mais quel est donc leur secret ? Où ont-ils été initiés ?

En l’absence de grimoires et d’écoles pour sorciers de la nature, ce livre constitue un excellent guide d’initiation. En dissociant la pratique de l’ornithologie en un certain nombre de principes de base et d’étapes simples, il démystifie cette discipline et montre à tout un chacun comment se lancer dans ce passe-temps très populaire, source de nombreuses satisfactions.

En commençant par le commencement – il suffit tout simplement de regarder par sa fenêtre – un texte accessible à tous explique les fondamentaux : comment procéder pour identifier un oiseau, de quel matériel avez-vous besoin (et de quoi vous n’avez pas besoin), où trouver les oiseaux, comment les attirer dans votre jardin. Ce faisant, il révèle au passage quelques aspects parmi les plus passionnants de la vie des oiseaux, des mues à la migration, de l’alimentation à la reproduction.

Débutants, attention : vous vous embarquez pour un voyage qui risque de durer toute votre vie !
