Whilst studying bird migration at Besh Barmag bottleneck in Azerbaijan last autumn, some of the counters had the idea to network with other bottlenecks and support other initiatives. Thus, they will travel to Eilat in Israel this March to participate at 'Champions of the Flyway'. This event at one of the most important bottleneck sites worldwide with an impressive concentration of migratory birds aims to collect donations to tackle the illegal killing of birds along their flyways. Meet and support the team, learn more about threats to migratory birds and please donate for their conservation!

We are a small group of birders regularly vistiting Azerbaijan. In this blog we will post news about birding activities between the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea.
Working in Azerbaijan for years, we had numerous first records and could update the status of many species. But as hardly any western birders visited the country yet, every trip is still exciting and produces new fascinating observations. We hope that in the future more birdwatchers will visit this great hotspot of biodiversity and join our community.
