Photo Rick Wright How annoying to wake up in the middle of a tour to find the temperature plunging, the wind howling, and a drizzle pelting down. How annoying? Not overly, if it’s a birds and art tour based in one of the greatest cities in the world. We’d planned to start our Berlin morning with another walk through the 500-acre Tiergarten, where our first stroll had produced Eurasian Nuthatches, Short-toed Treecreepers, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, and a remarkably obliging Common Buzzard— but the weather really was discouraging, even by birders’ standards. On a “normal” tour, those stormy skies would have put paid to our day, but we had the luxury of simply prolonging our lavish breakfast and hopping onto the train across the street for the 90-second ride to Berlin’s Zoo, whence it was a two-minute walk to one of the city’s most recognizable monuments. Originally built in the 1890s to honor modern Germany’s first emperor, the old Kaiser- Wilhelm- Gedächtnis-Kirche stands today as a Common Buzzard. Photo Rick Wright ruin, a warning to the future and simultaneously a marker of reconciliation, even forgiveness. The beautifully somber modern church at its base would be even more moving that evening, when some of us attended a service featuring a J.S. Bach cantata. A short ride took us from there to the Kulturforum, one of the The windows of the new Kaiser Wilhelm richest of Berlin’s many rich cultural sites. Stepping off the bus Church. Photo Rick Wright behind the gold-clad Philharmonic, we tried hard to choose Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 5 Germany: Birds & Art in Berlin & Brandenburg, 2019 among the options ahead of us: the treasures of art and design in the Kunstgewerbemuseum? Centuries of painting masterpieces in the Gemäldegalerie? The famous drawings, etchings, and engravings of the Kupferstichkabinett? Happily, a single ticket offers entry to all three museums, and we spent the rest of the day in and out of each of them, with breaks for lunch and coffee and a singing (but invisible) Black Redstart outside. There’s not much that is more fun than birding with artists or looking at art with birders. We all bring a different experience to whatever the things we see, and the combination of the ornithological gaze and the artist’s critical eye can result in some novel observations. Few, I think, are the visitors who can debate the identity of the duck that provided the inspiration for a particular set of Flemish angel’s wings, or who can recognize the Eurasian Jay patterns on their leading edge. We ended our day nearby, at the Potsdamer Platz, The Trinity (detail). Flemish, ca. 1420. once and now again one of the most bustling city Gemäldegalerie Berlin. Photo Rick Wright squares in all of Europe, surrounded by elegant stores and hotels and first-rate restaurants. We ate well that night, as we did every night and noon and morning, and were thoroughly prepared for a day outside the next, mercifully much nicer, day. That windy Saturday, the first time we’d ever had to rearrange this tour’s schedule, neatly proved our itinerary’s flexibility. The rest of our time together went just according to plan, though, with visits to museums, historic buildings, and sadly evocative memorials providing a counterpoint, a background, or often enough a foreground to some truly exciting birding. We birded the Gülper See almost literally beneath the shadow of an eighteenth-century windmill, Bean and Graylag geese and Common Cranes rising from the shallows as White-tailed Eagles passed overhead. At Altfriedland, we watched a Black Redstart hunting from the gable of a thirteenth-century Cistercian church while waterfowl and herons loafed on the ancient ponds. Hard as it may be to believe, our companionable group was probably the only table watching Common Chiffchaffs out the window as we waited for our lunch in the Cloister Tavern. Altfriedland. Photo Rick Wright The site of another Cistercian monastery, Kloster Lehnin, was equally evocative. After a morning of waterfowl and stunning Great Gray Shrikes at the Strengsee just a few minutes away, we had lunch in a delightfully old-fashioned restaurant in town, then strolled the peaceful walks of the monastery. Now in use as a hospital, staffed by Lutheran deaconesses, Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 6 Germany: Birds & Art in Berlin & Brandenburg, 2019 Lehnin preserves some of the loveliest red-brick Gothic buildings in the region, some dating to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

  • European Rabbits in Chile: the History of a Biological Invasion
    Historia. vol.4 no.se Santiago 2008 EUROPEAN RABBITS IN CHILE: THE HISTORY OF A BIOLOGICAL INVASION * ** *** PABLO C AMUS SERGIO C ASTRO FABIÁN J AKSIC * Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Ecología y Biodiversidad (CASEB) . email: [email protected] ** Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Química y Biología; Universidad de Santiago de Chile. Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Ecología y Biodiversidad (CASEB). email: [email protected] *** Departamento de Ecología, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Ecología y Biodiversidad (CASEB). email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This work analyses the relationship between human beings and their environment taking into consideration the adjustment and eventual invasion of rabbits in Chile. It argues that in the long run, human actions have unsuspected effects upon the environment. In fact rabbits were seen initially as an opportunity for economic development because of the exploitation of their meat and skin. Later, rabbits became a plague in different areas of Central Chile, Tierra del Fuego and Juan Fernández islands, which was difficult to control. Over the years rabbits became unwelcome guests in Chile. Key words: Environmental History, biological invasions, European rabbit, ecology and environment. RESUMEN Este trabajo analiza las relaciones entre los seres humanos y su ambiente, a partir de la historia de la aclimatación y posterior invasión de conejos en Chile, constatando que, en el largo plazo, las acciones humanas tienen efectos e impactos insospechados sobre el medio natural. En efecto, si bien inicialmente los conejos fueron vistos como una oportunidad de desarrollo económico a partir del aprovechamiento de su piel y su carne, pronto esta especie se convirtió en una plaga difícil de controlar en diversas regiones del país, como Chile central, Tierra del Fuego e islas Juan Fernández.

Utilising a family-run hotel on the outskirts of the ancient city of Arles as our base, the itinerary provided an easy opportunity to look for flamingoes, herons and wading birds using the shallow waters and reed-fringed lagoons as a breeding area or a suitable stop-over for migrants. The mountainous areas attract different and more localized species and we located special birds such as Wallcreeper, Rock Sparrow and Booted Eagle, together with a selection of other stunning species that call the Camargue home. Day 1 Monday 19th November Arriving in the early evening, leaders Neil and Matt met 15 of the 16 clients at Marseille airport, before collecting the minibuses and beginning the journey to the hotel. French protests and road blocks meant the route was more cross country but after just over an hour or so we arrived at our destination, Hotel des Granges. We were greeted by Bruno and Marie-Jo, our wonderful hosts and owners of this classically French Hotel, and a lone Black Redstart, the first bird for our trip, sat roosting over the entrance porch.

  • The Wild Rabbit: Plague, Polices and Pestilence in England and Wales, 1931–1955
    The wild rabbit: plague, polices and pestilence in England and Wales, 1931–1955 by John Martin Abstract Since the eighteenth century the rabbit has occupied an ambivalent position in the countryside. Not only were they of sporting value but they were also valued for their meat and pelt. Attitudes to the rabbit altered though over the first half of the century, and this paper traces their redefinition as vermin. By the 1930s, it was appreciated that wild rabbits were Britain’s most serious vertebrate pest of cereal crops and grassland and that their numbers were having a significant effect on agricultural output. Government took steps to destroy rabbits from 1938 and launched campaigns against them during wartime, when rabbit was once again a form of meat. Thereafter government attitudes to the rabbit hardened, but it was not until the mid-1950s that pestilence in the form of a deadly virus, myxomatosis, precipitated an unprecedented decline in their population. The unprecedented decline in the European rabbit Oryctolagus( cuniculus) in the mid- twentieth century is one of the most remarkable ecological changes to have taken place in Britain. Following the introduction of myxomatosis into Britain in September 1953 at Bough Beech near Edenbridge in Kent, mortality rates in excess of 99.9 per cent were recorded in a number of affected areas.1 Indeed, in December 1954, the highly respected naturalist Robin Lockley speculated that 1955 would constitute ‘zero hour for the rabbit’, with numbers being lower by the end of the year than at any time since the eleventh century.2 In spite of the rapid increases in output and productivity which British agriculture experienced in the post-myxomatosis era, the importance of the disease as a causal factor in raising agricultural output has been largely ignored by agricultural historians.3 The academic neglect of the rabbit as a factor influencing productivity is even more apparent in respect of the pre-myxomatosis era, particularly the period before the Second World War.

  • He Big “Mitte-Struggle” Politics and Aesthetics of Berlin's Post
    Martin Gegner he big “mitt e-struggl e” politics and a esth etics of t b rlin’s post-r nification e eu urbanism proj ects Abstract There is hardly a metropolis found in Europe or elsewhere where the 104 urban structure and architectural face changed as often, or dramatically, as in 20 th century Berlin. During this century, the city served as the state capital for five different political systems, suffered partial destruction pós- during World War II, and experienced physical separation by the Berlin wall for 28 years. Shortly after the reunification of Germany in 1989, Berlin was designated the capital of the unified country. This triggered massive building activity for federal ministries and other governmental facilities, the majority of which was carried out in the old city center (Mitte) . It was here that previous regimes of various ideologies had built their major architectural state representations; from to the authoritarian Empire (1871-1918) to authoritarian socialism in the German Democratic Republic (1949-89). All of these époques still have remains concentrated in the Mitte district, but it is not only with governmental buildings that Berlin and its Mitte transformed drastically in the last 20 years; there were also cultural, commercial, and industrial projects and, of course, apartment buildings which were designed and completed. With all of these reasons for construction, the question arose of what to do with the old buildings and how to build the new. From 1991 onwards, the Berlin urbanism authority worked out guidelines which set aesthetic guidelines for all construction activity. The 1999 Planwerk Innenstadt (City Center Master Plan) itself was based on a Leitbild (overall concept) from the 1980s called “Critical Reconstruction of a European City.” Many critics, architects, and theorists called it a prohibitive construction doctrine that, to a certain extent, represented conservative or even reactionary political tendencies in unified Germany.
