From nesting to travelling thousands of kilometres, migratory birds depend on healthy habitats throughout their journeys. 🐦��
Bee-eaters are a beautiful example. They return to familiar landscapes to breed, raise their young and, when the time comes, continue their journey.
This year’s World Migratory Bird Day theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter,” highlights the important role that bird sightings, photographs and citizen science can play in helping researchers understand and protect migratory species.
So next time you’re on safari, take a moment to think about just how far that bird may have travelled.
