3. Who observes the MOST BIRD SPECIES on the bird feeder during the contest (deadline 15 March 2012, 12:00 PM)
In 2011 Milvus Group became 20 years old
No one would have thought in 1991, when 7 enthusiastic ornithologist friends got together in the kitchen of Mr. Szombath Zoli, that the herein founded Milvus Group will still exist after 20 years, even more, it will be one of the most important and recognized nature protection associations in Romania, with hundreds of members, with many employees and with many achievements – which we tried to sum up, but it is impossible to include it all in this short report.
