Here is the June 26, 1987 arrêté with the list of the 87
animals that you can hunt in France (23 mammals and 64 birds)
:

I like the bird list:
"Oiseaux de passage


Alouette des champs, bécasse des bois, caille des blés, grive draine,
grive litorne, grive mauvis, grive musicienne, merle noir, pigeon biset,
pigeon colombin, pigeon ramier, tourterelle des bois, tourterelle turque
et vanneau huppé."

Starting with the lark, it confirms my deep-seated Anglo-Saxon prejudice
against French "sportsmen"!
