Hi all,
French birders only consider the western palearctic bioregion (metropolitan territory). For other French territories, lists are different otherwise we would cover most of the world (north and south Pacific, Indian ocean, Antarctica, etc…) and in terms of biogeographical region this would not really make sense.
French bird list is available here: http://www2.mnhn.fr/crbpo/IMG/pdf/LOF_juillet_2007.pdf Or here: http://www2.mnhn.fr/crbpo/IMG/xls/LOF_MAJ_2010.xls
Cheers,
Guillaume
