A very happy festive season and best wishes for 2016

The years go by, one after the other, and seem much the same, as more and more of you visit our website.

On this Christmas Eve, we have recorded 354,790 visits since November 1998, when our website dedicated to the carduelines went live.

Your regular visits, your emails, your messages in our guestbook, and your words of encouragement when we meet at exhibitions in France or abroad are a tremendous source of motivation. Thank you once again for your loyalty to our website and for following our publications so closely. It is with immense pleasure and great pride that we note our website is visited from every continent: in France, the United States, Belgium, China, Algeria, Ukraine, Germany, Canada, Russia, Australia, in South America, Tunisia, Japan, Spain, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal…

This year has been an exceptional one, as, thanks to the generosity of Marcel RUELLE, we have made his wonderful monographs – which are no longer available in shops – available to you as free downloads. His monograph on the Cini canary will be the last to be published on our website this year. 2016 will no doubt have some more excellent surprises in store for you.

To conclude these few lines, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy festive season and a wonderful 2016.

Thank you once again, and see you soon on ‘Eleveur-de-carduelines.com’

Romain and Jean-Michel
