Together with @AslanBolkvadze and @AlexRukhaia, I was invited to write a guest blog for @_OSME about the immense hunting pressure threatening migratory birds in the Chorokhi Delta, republic of Georgia.

This morning I witnessed a powerful migration experience. Over 1800 Levant Sparrowhawks took off from their roost in Beer Sheva city park and circled overhead. These amazing tiny ninjas provide a mindblowing spectacle. Fly safe you migration heroes!

Hamerkop action here! Amazingly easy to see this time at Al Sadd Lake, Saudi Arabia. I think eight was my highest count together. Amazing looking bird esp inflight when you can see their very odd wingbeats @_OSME @Saudibirding

🤝 Joining forces for flyway conservation.
Led by the Indian Government, representatives from across the Central Asian Flyway have come together at #CMSCOP14 to conserve migratory birds.
BirdLife analysis shows that 40% of bird species across the Central Asian Flyway are in decline. 📉
By working together, we can:
✅Better understand migration patterns.
✅Manage important sites.
✅Reduce mortality.

A revised action plan for the Great Bustard in Asia is being proposed for adoption at #CMSCOP14.
It compiles the latest research on the current status & threats to the bird and identifies conservation actions for the Great Bustard Range States in Asia.
