Herewith a translation, in case anyone was left wondering what all this was
about:
Dear ornithologists,
The year 2000 return migration has begun -- the first returners are already
back.
We are inviting you to experience the return to Europe of nine species (eight of
which breed in Switzerland) 'on.line'. Please report your first observations
of:
Redstart, Cuckoo, Swift, Blackcap, Nightingale, Red-backed Shrike, Swallow, and
White Stork, to [address as given]. The European maps will be updated daily.
The
more people who join in, the more interesting it will be.
Greetings,
Edgar
[It is not clear why only 8 species are listed.]
