There came a period of bird spring migration, and again we\u2019re searching the sky for silhouettes of our favourites. Quite often we don\u2019t guess that our observations might give an unexpected result. During last decades an individual marking of birds of prey by using colour rings, wing tags or \u2018windows\u2019 on wings is rather common-spread. These are the elements which should be paid attention when observing birds, also during migrations. A camera may be very useful as modern technical devices give a possibility to take a picture of a bird, and then have a better look at necessary features. Therefore we can advise not only gaze at flying birds, but take a picture. <\/p>\n

In conclusion we would like to express solidarity with the manifest about not using marking of birds without extreme necessity, because of bioethical considerations. The text of the manifest can be found at our partner\u2019s web-site dedicated to the Short-toed Eagle (http:\/\/short-toed-eagle.net\/manifesto-against-plastic\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n Maxim Gavrilyuk<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There came a period of bird spring migration, and again we\u2019re searching the sky for silhouettes of our favourites.
