Birdwatching

Unusual weather pattern this year has not been good for the migratory birds. One has seen subtle changes in their migration patterns. For example, Bar Headed Geese could be seen around here well into April this year.

This is my third year celebrating WMBD and it has been a wonderful journey for me as well. This WMBD , I intend to be out early with my parents and visit the birding hotspots around here.

Il Centro Studi Naturalistici ONLUS e la Società Oasi Lago Salso di Manfredonia, aderiscono alla giornata mondiale degli uccelli migratori, presso l'Oasi il giorno 10 maggio 2015, con l'intento di sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica verso questo importante fenomeno fondamentale per la tutela e la conservazione degli uccelli. L’iniziativa si inserisce, inoltre, nell´ambito delle attività di comunicazione e sensibilizzazione previste dal progetto LIFE+ 2007 - “Azioni di conservazione per l´avifauna prioritaria dell´Oasi Lago Salso” 

At the most southern point of Scandinavia Gedser bird observatory and ringing station (aka GFU) we will undertake bird migration watch (aka "vis mig" [visual migration watch]). Also, as part of the standard bird-monitoring programme at GFU there will also be the usual five hours of mist netting and ringing of birds.

We are happy to be part of this event - however we can only participate in the vis mig part on the 9th of May however, as ringing is part of the program at GFU that will also happen during the following days.

As previous years World Migratory Bird Day will be celebrated at Aras Bird Research and Education Center in Igdir, northeastern Turkey. Aras Valley is an important bird migration site where millions of passerines and soaring birds migrate from Africa to Eurasia and vice versa.

Birds Korea’s Fifth Birdathon will be held this year between Saturday, the 2nd of May and Sunday, the 10th of May.

Timed to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (on May 9th-10th), the annual Birdathon is an enjoyable way to help raise extra much-needed funds for our conservation work and to help family, friends and work colleagues learn a little more about your love of birds and birding!

Starting at 9:30 am tours in the national nature reserve with experts will guide visitors along the nature trails, through the fields, pastures and down to the lagoon to observe the birds. Ornithologists will be there to aid in monitoring (particularly for the collection of ringing data from flamingoes) and illustrate scientific monitoring techniques for migratory birds.
