Today is a bittersweet day. After just over a month of dedication, we’ve wrapped up the Besh Barmag Bird Migration Count. Although it was a joy and privilege, financial constraints and limited counters made it unsustainable to continue without additional support.
Despite the challenges, we managed to record an incredible 1,150,000 migrant birds, including an astonishing 180,000+ Little Bustards!
