Birdwatching

Nordre Øyeren Wetland Centre arranged a bird watching trip to Nordre Øyeren nature reserve on Sunday 12 of May. Our guide was from Nordre Øyeren Birding Station and he could tell us a lot about the birds that we observed on our trip. Only three people attended, and the weather has to take the blame. It was rainy and windy, but luckily the rain stopped five minutes before the trip was about to start.

Las actividades programadas en el Paraje Natural Municipal del Clot de Galvany (Elche), designado por la Unión Europea como Zona de Especial Protección para las Aves (ZEPA), giran en torno a la importancia de este tipo de aves y a su presencia en el paraje, para lo cual se han preparado unas visitas guiadas por nuestros monitores y unas charlas que acercarán a todos los públicos a un mejor conocimiento de estas aves y de sus rutas migratorias, así como del papel fundamental que representa la conservación de parajes como el Clot de Galvany para garantizar su supervivencia.

During the Birdrace teams of 3 to 5 birdwatchers try to register as many bird species as possible in their region (usually a district) within 24 hours. It runs throughout the 4th May. The number of teams is growing from year to year. In 2012 already 165 teams participated and registered 292 bird species (all free-flying species are countable). So the first Saturday in May (when the Birdrace usually takes place) is the unofficial "Day of bird diversity" in Germany.

The aim is to take the interested young volunteers to the IBAs, and to introduce the rear and newly coming migratory birds to this region. For more effective motivation, we eagerly waiting for the posters and stickers as you distributes! But last year we didn't received as per you comment.

Spring traditional Birding Rally "Seese&Swans" is an ornithological team sport competition by car. Each team should reach each section of the rally route within the time limit, photographing and identifying the greatest possible number of bird species encountered on the route. This route will go through natural protected areas and historic sites and that consider birding as an important strategy that can contribute effectively to the conservation of most diverse and threatened areas. It is a 3 day event that brings together around 70 people.

Obrączkowanie migrujących ptaków dostarcza informacji m.in. o trendach ich liczebności, trasach i terminach wędrówek, ich kondycji w czasie migracji, które mogą posłużyć do monitoringu i ochrony wędrownych ptaków. Jak co roku od ponad 50 lat, i tej wiosny będziemy obrączkować ptaki na naszych dwóch stacjach na polskim wybrzeżu – Hel i Bukowo. W czasie World Migratory Bird Day – 11 maja 2013 – zapraszamy do odwiedzenia naszych stacji terenowych, do bliskiego kontaktu z wędrującymi ptakami, przyjrzenia się obrączkowaniu i wspólnych obserwacji ptaków, z pomocą doświadczonych ornitologów.
