Exiting news, Trush Nightingale which was ringed in Georgia in August 2012 was captured by another ringing team at Ngulia, Kenya. The Belgian ringing team started project in Georgia in 2010, and every August-September team of international ringers are ringing in Chorokhi delta, near the one of the biggest city in Georgia Batumi. In the first year was ringed approximately 6000 passerines, on the next year 2011 was ringed 12 000 passerines and in 2012 20 000 passerines. We hope that in future there will be more feedbacks coming from the different countries. Congratulations to the both ringing teams, in Georgia and in Kenya.

Caucasian Black Grouse

Our team went to check some birding places in Mountains. It seems that Caucasian Black grouse population is doing fine, since we had two three different flocks together. Still there is not much snow in the Mountains and this birds were quite high, almost on the habitat of Caucasian Snow Cocks. Team of Ecotours Georgia is looking for the new birding places to make our trips more diverse. We will update you once in a while when we will have some interesting information.
