Francophone birding-aussers might like to know there is a
French language mailing list
AVIMONDE with subscribers worldwide. While most
subscribers are in France or Quebec, there is a strong interest in world
birding, including Australia. (A recent discussion has been on the taxonomy of
the Kimberley form of the Pied Imperial-Pigeon). Lucien Gues the moderator is
very friendly and keen to see more Australian involvement and stresses that
fluent French is not essential, as they are happy to "help out". The
Avimonde site contains a downloadable file of the RAOU list of Australian birds
with names in French and English which makes it all a lot easier.
To subscribe to AVIMONDE send a blank message to
