2012-04-05, Hello Everybody!The first camp of the Milvus Group organized at the Bosphorus, Turkey has come to an end. I was imnorfed that due to the bad weather the team decided to start the journey home today evening. However, I was also imnorfed that yesterday there was a gorgeous day with probably more than 40.000 raptors (there were definitely more birds counted than that, but after elimination of double counts the number can decrease). The final number of birds counted yesterday as well as the overall totals for the camp will be uploaded on this website during the first days of the next week. Milvus Group would like to thank everybody who participated for their time and financial efforts, please remember that this year the camp was organized on a completely voluntary basis. In the years to come we would also like to base the camp on voluntary work, but we will try to secure funding which will enable us to provide good working conditions for everybody.If you would like to join our team in 2009, and participate in the activities of our raptor migration count in one of the most important migration bottle-neck sites of Europe, please send us a message on the marton.kelemen(et)milvus[dot]ro email address. All the best,Marton
