A formal gathering and discussion under the patronage of the Minister of State for Environmental Affairs (MSEA) will be guided by SSCW staff and volunteers to facilitate networking for the protection of Migratory Birds and to present the importance of such bottleneck sites in order to demonstrate: • The sheer size and diversity of migrating birds through bottleneck locations. • The importance of Bottleneck locations for migratory birds and as demonstrated of being an important bird area on the flyway.

Obrączkowanie migrujących ptaków dostarcza informacji m.in. o trendach ich liczebności, trasach i terminach wędrówek, ich kondycji w czasie migracji, które mogą posłużyć do monitoringu i ochrony wędrownych ptaków. Jak co roku od ponad 50 lat, i tej wiosny będziemy obrączkować ptaki na naszych dwóch stacjach na polskim wybrzeżu – Hel i Bukowo. W czasie World Migratory Bird Day – 11 maja 2013 – zapraszamy do odwiedzenia naszych stacji terenowych, do bliskiego kontaktu z wędrującymi ptakami, przyjrzenia się obrączkowaniu i wspólnych obserwacji ptaków, z pomocą doświadczonych ornitologów.

The WMBD will solely be devoted to bird watching. The Event will be initiated in the Conference Hall of the Electricity Company. The bird watching will be conducted in Umshegaira Island in Khartoum State where migratory birds stop en route to the wintering sites or winter in the island. Families of electricity and waste management sectors will be invited to participate in the birds watching. The society will provide binoculars, telescopes, field guides as well as camping equipment. Two boats will be hired to take the guest to the island as well as a mini bus to transport them to the shore.

In light of this year's theme for WMBD 2013, we are networking conservationists with the renewable energies sector in Egypt. A trip is being organized for employees of the wind energy sector in Egypt in order to promote soaring birds concerns in their field of work. They will be taken out to a bottleneck site (Ein El Sokhna, Gulf of Suez) for birdwatching, then a field visit to a nearby wind farm, followed by a short seminar/workshop on wind energy and MSB conservation. Note that this date was chosen because it better suites the peak of migration in Egypt.

Speech, essay writing and drawing competition among the students of different schools and colleges will be held which will be finalized on 11 May 2013. Thereafter Bird Watching Event will be held at Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary Kot Addu on 12 May 2013.
