Résumé :	In France, the monitoring concerning the Tawny Pipit are rare. Thus, on the dunes habitats of the Charente- Maritime coastline, we put spatio-temporal monitioring of a population of males singers. Back from migration, the males are noted since the first week of April. The activity of the male singers is bound to the temperatures with a maximum of songs given at the hottest hours. The males start their song of high points: ganivelle, blockhouse, summit of dune, peg of fence. In the coastal dunes of the Charente Maritime, we observed a variability of the territories size for a Tawny pipit singer of 1,73 ha to 8,55 ha. In dune habitat, the Tawny pipit shows a habitat preferendum for the gray dune (Helichrysion stoechadis). The occupation of the available territories depends on the tourist pressures.
