Who hear my song In the spring will never forget me, to see me you have to come to the park or forest,In the spring,yes then I will be singing to find a female, and this time If you want to take a photo of me ,that´s the only time you can find me on top of a tree. I am the first here,I look for a habitat,where I can feed my offspring, my travel to be here Is a very danger on, but If I do arrive I will be usually In the same park or forest,If this Is still there. You can see I am not a colorfull bird but my song is the one you must listen to, you can hear me till 03h in the morning, but seeing me will be more hard to find me,this mean that I do have a female,and I still sing to her, If you have a look to my site here you can hear my song. I have been born to be free like you,but still In some countries there trap me and kill me Did you know this? My family and myself I have to return to my winter stay In Africa,and the way on my travel is very dangerous. I have to fly all over the Sagel desert... Did you know there Is a species from Japan? The name Is Japanese Nightingale,but normally he comes from the Himalaya ,and this species is also in a lot of problem,In Japan there trapping this bird to be sold In Europe,but most of them are be on arrival intercepted by the airport control. ..... There are put In a animal shelter to see if they are healthy...... After a period,they are transporting them to the foot of the French Perinee where you can hear and see them ,and they don´t leave the new habitat.... but a lot of my friends are dead by arrival To the country like Belgium.. the Netherlands or Germany, the species that have survived are happy bunch and there can be seeing In their new country....

BIRD TRAPPING ON THE RISE IN CYPRUS...2,8 MILLION BIRDS KILLED...

The late monitoring results In CYPRUS show that bird trapping with mist nets and limesticks continues to rise,threatening many migrants traveling through the Eastern Mediterranean Islands. Bird Cyprus has carried out monitoring of Illegal trapping ,and there discovered that 2,8 million birds have been victims of this practice during the year.It Is the highest number of cases reported. This dramatic figure highlights the Increasing trend In Bird trapping In CYPRUS. Here we see,that still trapping of birds Is a big problem. Still more than one group are standing by,and do try to free the birds from the nets ore limesticks,and still the trapping Is going up In numbers. If there Is a demand for birds to sell In resto-and bars there will be a trapping of birds In Cyprus, take a more deep control to the demand and there will be hope to end this trapping.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY......

The Bird protect partners In France,Ireland,Portugal,Spain and the UK,are deploying unprecedented actions to protect the marine environment, through the project ..future of the Atlantic marine environment,Interreg programme 2010-2012. Amongst other,they have been tagging seabirds with mini-cameras,which record wonderful.Seabirds experts from those countries share their knowledge and their survey methodologies,for a better understanding of seabirds distribution at sea,and their interactions with human activities. In France there deployed several telemetric devices on a colony of Northern Gannet,In "Rouzic",the heart of the "National Reserve "Sept Iles". This work was performed In close collaboration with the Bird protect from France. GLS,GPS,time depth recorders,are real concentrates of technology,and provide Increasingly accurate Information about birds location and behavior. Their permitted to rely to many questions nobody could answer before such as where the birds foraging areas and wintering areas are. As a complementary action,several adults from the N-Gannets colony where tagged In 2011 with a mini-camera to discover the extraordinary Images they gathered. The Images will allow Improving the knowledge about the fishing behavior of the Gannets,for example know If they fish In group or s Isolated birds or what their Interactions with f fishing boats are. This promising first experience Is going to be repeated during the 2012 breeding period,final year of this project.... we learn a lot by this project and hope to find a way of surviving the birds and fish Industry

SINGING COST ENERGY......ORE THERE LIVE.....

A study shoued that more unpaired males of several songbirds spend 50% more energy when they sing intensively,than males who hardly or not sing ,because they are already paired. Though singing males acquire a territory and there strokes the females.. The duration sounds of there song helps determine the quality of the territory. Singing is energy. It really takes not only time spent on the vocal post,the chances of to be spotted by predators also Is great. When you hear a bird singing In the spring time,this means the bird Is still looking for a female, this study has lean us that also a singing bird, Is still a free bird,but also a bird In danger..BORN TO LIVE FREE....
