In autumn 2017, around 2’400 birds were ringed at Besh Barmag bottleneck. After several of them were re-trapped during the same period on site already, the message of an individual re-discovered further away came up recently!

On 5 October 2017, a Red-spotted Bluethroat Luscinia svecica svecica was ringed as a first year male on its autumn migration. Birds of this subspecies breed from Scandinavia across Russia to China and North-Western America. Their wintering grounds are located in Southern Europe, Northern Africa, Arabia and South-Eastern Asia (https://www.hbw.com/species/bluethroat-cyanecula-svecica). Somewhere there the bird must have spent the winter before it was found on 1 May 2018 in Arzamas, south of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Dr. Evgenia Malafeeva, the head of the chair of Biology, Geography and Chemistry at the Arzamas branch of Nizhny Novgorod University photographed the Bluethroat in her garden 208 days after ringing about 1’600 km North-North-West of the ringing place.

Big thanks to the observer and photographer, Dr. Evgenia Malafeeva, and the Bird Ringing Centres of Russia and Hiddensee/ Germany, as well as the volunteers in field who helped to catch and ring all the birds!

  2. J'ai été victime d'une arnaque sentimentale d'une somme importante et une amie qui a aussi été victime de ce genre d'escroquerie m'a donné l'adresse d'un officier de Police d'un Organisme de lutte contre la cybercriminalité. Après avoir contacté le fonctionnaire de police et en suivant ses instructions, ces escrocs ont été arrêtés et tous les fonds que j'avais perdu m'ont été remboursés. Pour cela je vous invite tous, vous qui avez été victime de toute sorte d'arnaque de contacter cet argent de la police dont l'adresse mail est la suivante :
