This corner of southwest France is best known for its rich, dark reds, as well as Sauternes, the sweet, white wine produced from grapes affected by noble rot. The estate of Château de Colombe is in the village of Sainte-Colombe, a name it shares with many other places throughout France.

The very first thing we notice about this large member of the Galliformes is that there is a wild version and a domestic version, and although the two are rather different, they are both given the same species name, Meleagris gallopavo. This is not entirely unknown among domestic animals, but many domesticates have no living wild version.

They contributed 150 lists accounting for 1032 species and more than 36,000 individual birds. Thus 100 species were missed by the time he woke up and noticed that eBird had reset the counters at midnight(do you guys have nothing better to do?). They came home exhausted. The life list was pumped a further 27 sp up to 3953.

In a funny twist of fate, it seems that 2014 will be much the same as 2012 and 2013 have been, with family trips to somewhere in France and business trips to Indonesia and Kazakhstan. I will also likely scale back on my birding madness in Germany, and might therefore see less species than I did in the last two years. The Birding Diary.

I knew I would be in southern France in the summer, and chances weren’t bad to see the species there. It’s not the first time this species has is recorded in the region but it’s certainly a vagrant as its normal distribution is in southern Europe.

Most of the time it’s sheer luck or coincidence that determines what you will see – I saw my first Black Redstart outside a meeting room in France, for example. My Kenya list of 69 species consists entirely of birds I saw during business trips to Nairobi. You can favour fortune, be bold and pick your hotel wisely.
