Sayings For Christening Cakes

First evidence of the decline of snakes

The first study showing an alarming decline in populations of different snakes was published this month ( Reading et al. 2010. Are Widespread in snake populations decline? Biology Letters, doi: 10.1098/rsbl .2010.0373 ). This study was a massive global echo, in very many major television channels (Eg BBC, National Geographic, ABC, Al Jazeera ...), radio, websites and newspapers. Just type "snake decline" on google for testing.

With our colleagues in the Australian, British, Italian, Nigerian and ourselves (France), we compared our data sets on long-term follow that out over several decades on several continents. On 17 populations (8 species of snakes, including vipers, elapid, Colubridae, PythonIDE), 11 experienced a catastrophic decline and show no sign of recovery. The others are stable (or very slight increase). All populations followed in unprotected areas have seen their numbers reduced considerably. Most likely due to habitat degradation (loss of shelter, excessive use of pesticides ...). This is precisely the case for snakes studied in France who suffer greatly from the sudden intensification of agriculture (consolidation very strong, serious pollution ...) to the detriment of agriculture in line with the protection of environment. Stable populations are all in protected nature reserves. However, populations have declined even though they were in protected areas, indicating the existence of mysterious and probably still causes poly-factorial. This kind of widespread phenomenon is reminiscent of the global drop in the numbers of amphibians. Finally, the declines are characterized by declines in populations synchronized and relatively strong (between 1998 and 2002).
Our findings are disturbing and we encourage our colleagues to compare their data with ours. If our conclusions are asserting themselves, the consequences could be dramatic. The only positive is the huge advertising in the media, always carried out in an optical storage and emergency to protect the reptiles.

Mowing Trail communal


This Saturday, June 18 at the old animations weekend heaps, we wanted to have access to the reserve more pleasant trail along the communal heap Marcasse was overgrown with nettles and brambles and if we want to enable walkers to discover our conservation work, it was unthinkable to leave it in that state.
A small team (but effective) members of the commission has mowed half past two in the entire length of the trail and access to the top of the heap has also been opened. Overgrown with brambles and closed the tray.

Throat Hurts Deeper Than Glands

Nightingale


Nature is capable of bringing us great emotions.
The discovery of a beautiful landscaped site, the observation of the rare success in the cultivation of a special plant, etc..
These emotions, it is one that ornithologists particularly enjoy: listening to the song of the Nightingale. Gifted vocal exercise, the Rossignol male occurs at all hours of the day, especially at night.
Back in our countries as soon as April, the artist looks for a wet thicket hard to penetrate when it moves into the waiting a female (males before females return). And there he produced a powerful and varied song, a succession of trills, whistles liquids and clucking sounds and murmuring "1. The benefits are the most impressive night, the calm of the night amplifying the sound production. Especially as the Nightingale is found primarily in remote locations of our overcrowded towns and villages: in the wet lowlands of our forests, in dense thickets of our valleys, swampy thickets of our countryside.
Unfortunately, this host once so common in our region is now increasingly rare. According to censuses conducted by Aves2 it no longer breeds in today's Western Hainaut that almost exclusively in the valley of hatred.
Therefore, what a pleasure for us to listen in the natural reserve of "Marc and surroundings." Since 2006 he has been heard every year on the site, in ditches and wet woods bordering the heaps. This year's first hearing was noted on April 17. He sang again three weeks later, evidence of its installation on site.
Hopefully we will hear it again for years. 1
