It is January, and the regular midwinter waterfowl count will soon begin. The central days for this year’s count are January 17-18. But all observations made during January will be recorded. So hurry outdoors!
 
An international cormorant count will also take place during the same period and we have been asked to assist. More detailed information to come at the end of the week.
 
A summary of the results from the 2008 count is shown in the link below. The observation questionnaire  and the section maps are on the Estonian Ornithological Society’s (EOÜ) website: http://www.eoy.ee (heading Projektid – Kesktalvised veelindude loendused).
 
All who are interested in birds but haven’t participated earlier are welcome to contact: leho.luigujoe[ät]emu.ee.
