Count Coordinators for Autumn 2023
We are still raising funds, but preparations for the BRC Autumn Count of 2023 have started. The count will run from the 12th of August until the 21st of October. We are searching for brave count coordinators to lead the team of raptor counters in one of the most magnificent bottlenecks in the world.
If you are interested in the position, please continue reading for more information and submit your application by the 31st of March.
PS. Applications to volunteer counter positions will be opened on April 15th.
BRC 2022 T-Shirt
We are glad to be back counting raptors again! It took us no less than 14 years to — finally — feature this charismatic species on our annual T-shirt: the Short-toed Eagle. Who can resist these eyes and this T-shirt? Support our ongoing monitoring and conservation work by ordering the 2022 T-Shirt!
We have a difference
If you visit us in Georgia
When you visit us in Sakhalvasho, you can get the 2022 T-shirt in the following color.
The version of the 2022 T-shirt you can get from us in Sakhalvasho.
Online orders
The following T-shirts can be ordered online. The design is the same, but the colors of the T-shirts are different. The T-shirts are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
We're looking for volunteers for Autumn 2022
After finishing a successful crowdfunding campaign, we’re happy to finally announce the call for counters. We have now opened the application form and are looking for counters to join us between August 12th and October 21st, 2022. As always, we are looking for volunteers of all skill levels with an interest in migration, ability to work in a team and with the possibility to commit for at least two weeks. Joining our count as a counter is a great opportunity to learn more about raptors and their identification, while also contributing to long-term population monitoring. Volunteers will stay at one of the local guesthouses and enjoy the passage of over 1 million birds of prey together with other likeminded volunteers from all over the world. The daily fee depends on the length of your stay and ranges between €10 and €21. Students can pay a discounted fee and Georgian counters can join for free (limited places available).
