Mid-winter Waterfowl Census 2014

Posted by Rossen



This year, for the Census of wintering waterfowl birds were identified days from 17th until 19th of January. Activity counting and data processing is coordinated by state institutions with the partnership of NGOs and the participation of others is voluntary. As expected, warmer winter influenced the number and species diversity of wintering waterfowl and other species associated with wetlands. In cloudy weather and a temperature of +11°C were recorded following birds observed in Blagoevgrad wetlands.
