It has been 12 years<\/strong> since we restarted the bird ringing camp on Chituc Spit<\/strong> in its current format, and just like in previous years, we set up the nets and the yurt at the end of July (Fig. 1) and began collecting this year\u2019s data on songbirds migration.<\/span> \n \nAs previously reported, we concluded <\/span>last year\u2019s ringing camp <\/a><\/strong>with 13 319 birds ringed<\/strong>, bringing the total number of birds ringed between 2014 and 2024 to 158 289. You can read more about these and other interesting results in the latest report (link: Raport 2014-2024.pdf) from our camp.<\/span><\/p>

We ringed more than 1 000 individuals in the first two weeks<\/strong> of this year\u2019s camp, mainly reedwarbler species that nest in the area and begin their migration during this period. In a few weeks, we expect to see larger numbers of <\/span>Sylvia<\/strong> warblers<\/strong> and Red-breasted flycatchers<\/strong> arriving, with the migratory season concluding with species typical of late autumn, such as the Blackbird<\/strong>, the Song thrush<\/strong>, and the Robin<\/strong> (Fig. 2).<\/span><\/p>

Under optimal conditions, this year\u2019s ringing activity will last until the 1st of November<\/strong>, and during the 15 weeks we expect to ring around 14 000 individuals<\/strong>. Follow us on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a> (link:) and <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> to be kept up to date with this year\u2019s work.<\/span><\/p>

We thank the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Administration<\/strong> for the excellent collaboration over the past decade, and we thank those who have helped and continue to help fund the camp\u2019s activities. The largest recurring costs are related to the continuous replacement of nets and the purchase of rings \u2013 if you agree with us that these long-term data collections are important for conservation, you can help us alleviate the costs of the camp<\/strong><\/span> here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>
