Migration of birds to Lapland stopped in a chilly episode – according to the birdwatcher

BirdLife Finland organized a yard -freeing event open to all and a traditional observation competition for birdwatchers. Less than usual species were observed.

The chilly episode has slowed down and in some places even stopped moving the birds to Lapland.

Last weekend, BirdLife Suomi organized a bonga day at the same time, the Taisto events of the yard and towers to find out important information about bird species throughout Finland.

– I believe that further north has been frozen to even smaller readings. When the next warm episode and the southern wind come, it is quite certain that birds will come, Hamari says.

The \”drop -up\” of the birds affected the result

The weekend hit the Meri-Lapland hard northern wind and rain, which, according to Hamar, is the \”drop\” of the birds.

– They descend and remain in their place to wait for better weather.

Hamari estimates that this spring, this spring, the Meri-Lapland does not see big migratory bird floors in the fields, as normally. Winter was low in the area, so the fields melted and also dried early.

– Kurjet, swans, geese and northern waterfowl species fly past, they are dependent on water. As the northern snow melts, spring floods bring water to rivers and fields and late newcomers can still stop, Hamari believes.

Lapland’s top score was spotted in the field

BirdLife Finland organized the fifth time for the Book of the Bottom Day in the Yard. It was observed at home or at the cottage for two days. At least 50 species were observed in more than 50 places, and the highest number of species, 94, was listed in Lappeenranta.

Lapland’s top score, 33 bird species, was born in the field.

The pre -event’s pre -events had an impact on observations throughout the country, says BirdLife Finland. Insect eating birds, such as embroidery and swallows, had arrived clearly less than last year.

Observations can be reported until Friday 9.5. until BirdLife Finland’s website.
