Understanding place as ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ through practices of bird-watching
This paper illustrates how the practices of bird-watching are integral to the making and remaking of sense of place as ‘home’ and ‘away’, to sustain identities beyond accepted categories of ‘dude’, ‘birder’ and ‘twitcher’. The creation
and application of different types of ‘bird-lists’ helps to explain the ways in which practices of bird-watching facilitate making sense of place as simultaneously ‘home’, ‘away’ and habitat, as well as the identity work of home-maker, citizen-scientist
and tourist. These insights into these leisure practices of bird-watching are drawn from analysis of data gathered from 21 people who actively bird-watch and reside on the South Coast, New South Wales, Australia.

Landscape and birds are an important cause of blocking wind power projects. This paper investigates in the South of France the question of whether birds and wind power can be part of a same landscape and what type of landscape this could compose
. The AA. focuse on the attachments that animals or landscape might develop or entice humans to develop. They show that the process by which such a wind power landscape is composed engages birds into successive translations, which ultimately translate bird

“The whole world is watching” : intimate geopolitics of forced eviction and women's activism in Cambodia

The bird faunas of two vegetation gradients ranging from open grassland to high forest were compared in southern France and Corsica. On the whole, species richness is lower (ca 30 %) in Corsica than on the mainland. However, a low bird species
richness does not characterize all Corsican habitats. Moreover, the bird communities of Corsican shrubby habitats are closer in their diversity and frequency distribution to mainland bird forest communities than to the bird communities of mainland shrubby
habitats. The differences are attributable to a broader habitat use by forest birds which formerly colonized Corsica (i.e. an increased niche breadth).
