| Résumé : | In an increasing context of breeding and wintering European populations, Goldeneye bred for the first time in Îlede-France in 2009 after some cases in eastern France since 1999. Following the increase of spring and summer contacts since 2000, nest boxes have been installed in order to encourage it to breed in the Seine Valley (south of Seine-et-Marne). There was an unsuccessful breeding attempt in the first year after installation of the nest boxes but without success. The breeding finally succeeded two years later with two fledging. The female took her brood to a gravel pit lake situated one kilometer from the breeding site. This choice was probably made because of the abundant food supply and the lack of fish predators due to the fact that this lake was recently created. |
