Feathered travelers have arrived in Zabaikalsky National Park to replace seals waltzing under the ice, according to the Telegram channel of Zapovednogo Podlemorye.
The birds arrived at the park just in time for World Migratory Bird Day, which this year fell on May 13 (usually celebrated twice a year: on the second Saturday of May and October).
On the long journey of migration, they overcome various difficulties. To help them, people from all over the world join forces: they conduct censuses, protect nesting sites, talk about the fact that migratory birds – a vulnerable but important part of our ecosystem.
Park staff filmed migratory guests against the backdrop of the Svyatoy Nos peninsula. Cranes, swans, ducks and cormorants got into the lens. Those who are especially attentive may notice a muskrat in the frames.
