国际鸟盟进行的记录春天信使的项目，选择了杜鹃、家燕、白鹳和雨燕四种鸟，号召欧洲的孩子，教师、父母和观鸟者记录发现他们的行踪。并在网上随时跟踪。这个项目既简单又有趣，在实施难度上也不大，并且还有很强的科学意义，记录气候变化对鸟类的影响，我们也可以做啊～是很好的环境教育项目呢！


Europe’s first Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica – the messengers of spring – have been spotted in the south of Spain, Portugal and Cyprus, announcing the beginning of BirdLife’s Spring Alive program and heralding the arrival of the warmer weather to the northern hemisphere.
The first reports of the return of migrating birds in the south of Europe have been recorded by young birdwatchers in Portugal.
They entered their observations on the www.springalive.net website, where people from around the continent are to share their very first spring bird sightings.
BirdLife’s Spring Alive project, now in its second year, is aimed at getting children, teachers, parents and all interested birdwatchers to keep an eye out in their neighbourhood for the arrival of four indicator bird species: Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus, Barn Swallow, White Stork Ciconia ciconia and Common Swift Apus apus – and put them online so the rest of Europe can watch the arrival of spring.
“It’s always a momentous time of year when the migrating birds come back to Portugal, and continue north, bringing with them spring. And now children can join in the excitement of the season and join with other birdwatchers across Europe in recording where and when the birds appear.” said Luis Costa, CEO of SPEA (BirdLife in Portugal).
This is just the beginning of the action. From now on, children in 30 countries around Europe will observe and record their first personal observation of four bird species, with a view to watching the progress of spring across Europe. A map on the website will show how the warm weather is progressing across the continent, and the birds are moving further north.
“This project is very simple and can be great fun, but it also helps scientists to identify some changes occurring in the environment,” said Joanna Kalinowska, European Spring Alive project coordinator.
The bird sightings will also be analysed to find the “Arrival of Spring in Europe Week” – the week when most people have seen their first birds.
This knowledge will help scientists and nature conservationists to find out about bird migrations in Europe. “The more children and people around Europe who tell us about their observations, the more detailed the final results will be.” said Ms Kalinowska.
The project will take place around Europe right up until the first day of summer. “It can be really exciting to go outside in the spring, observe birds, and than tell the world that spring has arrived in your region, especially knowing that children from other countries do the same.” finished Ms Kalinowska.

WAXWING说：可以鼓励学校等想办法把家燕雨燕等招引回来
原文: 好象房子外面有可供它们作巢的梁柱，校园里保持一些可做巢材的湿泥等。
要是校园附近有公园绿地等，可以教导学生认识一些常见的鸟，注意候鸟在哪一天出现等。

今年第一批欧洲的家燕--被誉为“春天的信使”--在西班牙、葡萄牙和塞浦路斯南部被目击到了，这标志着国际鸟盟的又一项活动—“动感春天”---的开始和北半球春天的到来。
关于欧洲南部候鸟回归的第一则报道来自葡萄牙的观鸟者。
他们把这一发现公布在www.springalive.net的网站上，这样遍及欧洲大陆的人们都可以分享这一激动人心的喜讯。
国际鸟盟的“动感春天”活动已经进入了第二个年头，它号召孩子、教师、家长等所有的观鸟爱好者都开始留意身边以杜鹃、家燕、白鹳及雨燕为代表的四种鸟，一旦发现它们的踪迹便马上公布到网站上，这样全欧洲的人都能够在第一时间得到春天的信息。
国际鸟盟（葡萄牙）的执行总裁Luis Costa 说：“每年春天候鸟在葡萄牙的出现对我们来说都是一个意义重大的时刻，现在孩子们为此都非常兴奋，和其他欧洲的观鸟者一道记录鸟儿出现的时间。”
这还仅仅是“动感春天”活动序幕的一部分。从现在开始，遍及欧洲30个国家的孩子们都开始做他们个人的观察到这四种鸟的记录。互联网上的一张地图可以通过这些记录显示欧洲大陆怎样一点点变得温暖起来，鸟儿的身影也逐渐向北部扩展。
欧洲“动感春天”的项目负责人Joanna Kalinowska说：“这项活动很简单也很有趣，科学家们也可以从中得到有关环境变化的一些信息。”
经过对众多报道的综合分析，我们可以把大多数人都可以观察到这些鸟的时间被称为“欧洲春至周”。
这些知识可以帮助科学家和自然观察者进一步了解有关欧洲鸟类迁徙的情况。Kalinowska女士还说：“孩子和大人们观察得越自信，越有助于我们得到准确的结论。”
这一活动将持续到夏季开始的第一天。Kalinowska女士又说：“春暖花开的时候走到室外观鸟惬意极了，尤其当你知道其他国家的孩子们也在做着同样的事情时，你可以告诉其它地区的人这里春天已经来临，这可真是一个很棒的主意！”

其实我们观鸟会还更早开始观察春天的使者--北红尾鸲，不是吗？
每年第一个目击者算是幸运儿呢！

我们观察的是秋天的使者哦:heart :heart

好注意啊，可以在小学等开展，加强意识！
