windmig 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi, my name is Michael. I am 44, married with 4 children and a dog (épagneul Breton in French – I think that it is Brittany dog in English). I am French. I live and work near Paris. My favourite hunt is to run after snipes and woodcocks in Normandy (north-west of France) with my dog. My greatest pleasure is when my dog succeeds in pointing a snipe as I consider these birds as one of the most difficult to hunt. I also hunt ducks at night as we are allowed to do it in France. I own a little hut where we spend our nights with my friends, waiting for wild ducks to shortly stop on our pond, attracted by the domestic ones we breed. As I am very interested in bird’s migration, I decided to create a web site in order to follow their migration through Europe. It was a huge job as I did everything on my own but it is now operational. The address of the website is: http://windmig.com/english.html WindMig is currently used by many French hunters. I have recently translated the website in order to propose four new languages: English, Spanish, Italian and German. Two Spanish hunters joined us recently and I have nice contacts with some Italian guys that are about to participate. The aim of WindMig is to provide a European view of the migration. It would be great if some English hunters would take the time to share with us their own bird observations. In order to complete this quick picture of WindMig, the website also provides weather forecasts maps and detailed weather information for any point in Europe. I thought that it would be useful for hunters in order to help them anticipating bird’s movements. I am sorry to start my presentation on this great forum with some advertising but I feel that WindMig is a good and new idea. It would be a great success to give an English touch to this website and I don’t know how to reach English hunters otherwise from France. Thanks a lot for reading me and don't hesitate to ask me any questions concerning this project. Michael. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
