Birdwatching

World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) will be celebrated in Benin by SOS Savane, a conservation NGO. We will be hosting virtual and physical events to commemorate WYDL.

For the first phase of May 08, on our social networks we had to raise awareness and bring our public to act for migratory birds. To mark the second phase of October 09, here are some ideas to inspire World Migration Day this year with communities and schools around the Pendjari complex which is home to the Pendjari River, Ramsar site 1669.

The Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust, in cooperation with its members, will be conducting a bird watching exercise to observe migratory birds throughout the island. The birds will be captured through photography or videography singing or dancing as they visit and enjoy natural habitats on the Island.

This event will give participants the chance to experience the importance of bird migration in addition to enjoying the astonishing beauty of the Lebanese nature. 

ABCL /LBWT experts will be on site to welcome participants and help them identify the raptors that can be observed.

The Ehden Raptors Count is organized by Association for Bird Conservation in Lebanon and Lebanon Birdwatching Tours in collaboration with Zgharta Ehden Municipality and Horsh Ehden Reserve.

It will be held from September 18 to October 18, every day from 9 am to 5 pm.

The celebration is organized by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest and the Kalloni Environmental Information Center at the Lesvos island UNESCO Global Geopark, Greece.

Groups of up to 10 people will be guided to observe the wetland birds by the Kalloni Salt Pans. Several autumn migrant bird species will be present: Dalmatian Pelicans, Grey Herons, Great White Egrets, Spoonbills etc.

The National Botanical Garden and the Ecological Action Group celebrates WMBD 2021 with bird watching activities.

The Big Lake Environment Support Society World Migratory Bird Day event took place at Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park on September 11th and 12th with displays showing migratory bird routes through Alberta and bird species common to Big Lake. 

The Bird Club of New Providence of Nassau, Bahamas will be out in the field all over New Providence Island from dawn until dusk, in an effort to observe as many species as possible.
Members will divide into two groups, East and West, to cover as many types of habitats and environments as possible. Our observation reports will be submitted through eBird.org

We shall meet in in Garðskagi or Innri-Njarðvík and do some birdwatching. There are not many migratory birds left in Iceland this time of year but there are always some birds to be spotted.
