Festival

The organisation FINCH will implement a WMBD event for the first time in Kosovo. We are planning to have a meeting in the centre of the city of Prizren, the second biggest city in Kosovo. Preparations are underway to organize the same meeting in the capital city of Kosovo, Prishtina.
The WMBD activity will include birdwatching sessions at the river of Drini where different kinds of migratory birds can be seen.
The event aims to make people aware for the protection of migratory birds.

A day of bird hikes, demonstrations, booths, games, music, food, and live birds from Operation Wildlife. Tents and booths will be based at the overlook and shelter areas of the park.

Open to the general public 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free of charge.

With the purpose of raising awareness of the region as an Important Bird Area (IBA) - which is an area of importance to birds that breed here, or depend on the available food and shelter during migration.

In line with this year’s World Migratory Bird Day, we have planned a fair in order to provide information and increase awareness on the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.

At least 45 teachers and youth from St.Petersburg will visit farmlands in Olonets region during the time of geese spring migration stop-over to look at the outstanding natural beauty of this site.

The spring aggregations of geese and other migrating waterfowl species on the Olonets fields are the largest in Europe. The reasons for this are the rich forage that vast farmland offers, and availability of overnight shelter on Ladoga Lake and nearby wetlands.

As in previous years, the event includes bird ringing, the release of rehabilitated migratory birds, a photo exhibition, story tellers, "young birdwatchers", an exhibition on threatening factors to endangered bird species, etc.

This year's WMBD event involves various activities, such as an exhibition, educational programs on the the importance of migratory birds in life, birdwatching sessions and film screenings.

This year's event includes a photo competition as well as various other competitions and also birdwatching activities.

Furthermore, media related to migratory birds will be present and discussions on this topic are planned.
