On May 14 & 15 a bird camp will be held in the hills above La Turbie. The Mont Bataille has a 360° view from the Mediterranean sea to the mountains and is an excellent spot for the observation of migrating bee eaters and honey buzzards at the time of WMBD. Local ornithologists will explain the mysteries of migration to the general public.

NGOs, students and QMM employees will observe aquatic birds during 2 days. The morning session of the event runs from 5h00hrs until 9h00hrs with birdwatching activities and will be followed by sensitisation about the 2011 theme.
In 2010, within the 2 days we observed around 300 aquatic birds. QMM supports this educational programm since 2002 and this year will be the 10th anniversary of our birdwatching event in collaboration with Asity Madagascar.

We will teach courses relating to the conservation of birds in our province for field trips, currently taking place. We will conduct awareness raising talks throughout the year. Additionally, we will offer a trip to Lagunas de los Pozuelos (Ramsar Site) to observe migratory plovers coming from the North Pole.
