Le Comptage des Oiseaux des Jardins - Garden Bird Survey 2015




In Brittany, as in the UK, this weekend has seen the 2015 Garden Bird survey being carried out. We took part this year (from the comfort of the barn behind the glass) and it was useful for us as we've had to learn a lot of vocabulary for French bird names.

So, here's our list from 17:00 - 18:00 today, in French and English:

French Name Number Seen English Name
Troglodyte Mignon          1 Wren
Sittelle Torchepot          2 Nuthatch
Mésonge Bleu          6 Blue Tit
Mésonge Charbonnier          5 Great Tit
Merle Noir          4 Blackbird
Pigeon Ramier          1 Pigeon
Rougegorge Familier          1 Robin
Pinson Des Arbres          2 Chaffinch
Verdier d'Europe          2 Greenfinch
Etourneau sensonnet          6 Starling
Moineau Domestique          1 House Sparrow
