Armenian Society for the Protection of Birds

Perhaps many of us remember since our childhood how badly we were looking forward to May 1^st (May Day). Certainly it was connected with the official opening of the Yerevan Zoo.

Armenian Society for the Protection of Birds (ASPB-BirdLife Partner in Armenia) announces the “Armenia’s Wild Birds” Photo Contest. The Photo Contest aims at promoting the science of ornithology, birdwatching (birding) and raising a live interest in birds and wildlife in general.

For most people April 1 is most notable for being Fools’ Day, but for amateur birders and ornithologists it is first and foremost belongs to the International Bird Day.

This is the 11th waterbird census in sequence which is held across the entire central Asian flyway and took place on a range of dates of January 2013. As the weather conditions were favorable at the time of counts, the census was successfully completed with little deviation from assigned schedule.
