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.
