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!

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!

Spring Report 2022 published

The third and final spring count gave us beautiful snow-covered surroundings and raptors in perfect light, we witnessed the return of birds and spring. We had great views of close-by flying raptors and many medium-raptors far away, Black Kites foraging in the evening light and many more interesting observations.

Have fun reading!

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).
