Hi There,
A new book out this year published by Nathan in France promoted by the 'Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux' indispensible guide to the 337 best birding sites in France with 124 maps of key sites is called 'Ou Voir les Oiseaux en France' or simply 'Where to watch birds in France' and an English translation will be out soon on:- http://www.lpo-boutique.com/, together with books on all the 440 species of butterfly of Europe (34 Euros), and on 1,500 species of wild flower of France (25 Euros),also a guide to birding in Poitou, Charentes and Vendee 25.70 Euros,Normandy 25.70 Euros, and also birding in Lorraine for 25.70 Euros.A great video I recommend is 'Droles d'Oiseaux',cost 23 Euros, on bird ringing in France including 56 minutes of footage of ringing of key birds in France including catching Corncrake in a hand net near the Loire!
Nice guide to Orchids for 40 Euros covering 150 French species, and a guide to Amphibians of Europe of 60 species of Frogs and allies for 38 Euros together with a CD.A similar publication is available on the Amphibians of France covering 42 species with CD and book for 43 Euros.Another nice book they offer is a guide to 3,000 species of Fungi found in France for 30 Euros.
Also 200 species of French and European Mammals are described in a book
of 304 pages costing 30 Euros.The LPO produce 'Ornithos' magazine the French equivalent of British Birds together with Rarities decisions for France and a list of rare birds breeding in France.Also Walking guides are produced by the LPO for areas like Brittany, Normandy,etc.
However 'Ou Voir les Oiseaux en France' is a key publication produced by France's finest birders just this year 2004, and costs only 19 Euros,the ISBN: 2.09.261176-3. Definitely highly recommended for any French birding enthusiast.I don't know when the English translation will be out, but if you speak French and like birding in France this book is a must! I have got my copy and I am very impressed with it, partly as it is produced by my colleague Dr Philippe Dubois (the top French Birder, who helps advise the LPO, Bird Life partner in France).
Nice birding.Regards from a rather wet Jersey near sunny France!
