Euro Birdwatch

On 1 and 2 October, 2016, tens of thousands of eyes all over Europe and Central Asia will turn to the sky to witness the spectacle of bird migration at BirdLife Europe's annual Euro Birdwatch. Migration counts in each country are organized either through a network of counting stations manned by experienced birdwatchers or through field trips to Important Bird Areas. The numbers are collated by the country's national BirdLife partner and then passed on to the European centre, which this year is BirdLife Switzerland. This organisation will publish preliminary results on the evening of 3 October and a full report later on.
