STUDY OF WATERBIRDS MIGRATION PHENOLOGY IN GREECE

Convention with LKN Analysis Ltd., Greece (2006-2013)

 

Object: Assist the implementation of a census network of migratory waterbirds wintering in Greece in order to determine the prenuptial and postnuptial migration phenology of the main species, with a priority given to huntable species.

OMPO provides scientific and technical assistance to the study at 3 levels:

 

  • Definition and implementation of a method for monitoring migratory waterbirds on selected representative Greek sites.
  • Annual analysis of data collected under this protocol during spring and autumn migration.
  • Synthesis of observations collected at the end of year 3, 5 and 8 of the study.

 

 

Status: Annual Monitoring Report 2010 approved by the Hellenic Hunters Confederation. Summary of observations made at the end of five years of study (2006-2010) is presently being validated by OMPO. Waterbirds count 2011 in progress.
