Malaysian Nature Society Miri Branch is celebrating World Migratory Bird Day for the third consecutive year.

This year we have invited Mr Khoo Swee Seng, from the MNS Raptor Study Group, to give a talk and slideshow on migrating raptors. Together with the Miri Branch Bird Group, Seng will be leading members of the public and students to two scheduled birdwatching outings. The event is a collaboration with Sarawak State Library Miri Branch.

The Tunza Chemi Chemi is a project that was launched by the Muungano Development Gateways organisation in September 2009. It is a partnership project and a voluntary initiative, which aims to protect Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Kenya. Currently 8 community based groups and youth environment clubs in 12 schools are supporting the project. The Partnership provides a framework for local network cooperation, including: Development of an IBA Site Network between the IBAs Sio Port and Busia Grasslands, which are both very important for migratory birds.

On both days East African Outdoor Adventures will implement Birdwatching activities and will teach participants about birds. The event will take place in two separate areas to cover as many bird species as possible and to show the diversity of birds. The two areas chosen, have different land use status. Makuyuni lies next to Manyara Ranch/ Wildlife corridor area while Kitefu is a village with scattered settlements, located south west of Mt Meru and north west of Mt Kilimanjaro. The vegetation covered in the two sites differs a lot.

The public is invited to join a bird hike through 125 acres of woods, meadows, farm fields, lakeshore and gardens. Following the walk, a bird banding demonstration will take place teaching the importance of scientific study in helping birds around the world.
