Global Shorebird Countting

The Global Shorebird Counting is one of the key events of the World Shorebirds’ Day. This is not particularly a citizen science program, but rather an effort to rise awareness for the importance of regular bird monitoring as the core element of bird protection and habitat conservation.
The World Shorebirds’ Day is a celebration. Shorebirds, those fantastic migrants, as well as people, who do the most for them, are celebrated each year, on 6 September.
For more information see the official website: http://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/ and find out where will be making observations in 2014.

Anyone can register to participate in the initiative whether profesinalist or enthusiastic ornithologist.Yesterday I registered and will count in wetlands near Blagoevgrad.
