Re: Outings around Lausanne, Switzerland
Bird sightings are improving again up here as well! So good to see them returning.
Although, there are still quite a few species you got down there that I never heard of...
Great outing again, nan.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Outings around Lausanne, Switzerland
what a work
with my little Canon
one house (nr 9 on the map) above the "F" of safrounet and Yves (the long legs man) to the right side... so far away, ready to put Nr 10
the map, for the control
but the big news... is we meet the "fauna's police", control us... that is normal and proposed to show where Beavers have their house, entrance, chimneys etc...
and just now, the Pied Crow try to have a bath... in this one the Black Bird uses..... much, too much, too small, poor bird

Re: Outings around Lausanne, Switzerland
Why do they need nesting boxes?

Re: Outings around Lausanne, Switzerland
Because Nan's Beavers have chopped all the old trees with their nesting holes in down.
Birds that nest in tree holes need old growth trees to be able to excavate nesting cavities. Us WN's have chopped all the old decent timber down, so there is a shortage of old trees for the birds to use. Nest boxes encourage species to stay and breed.
