Methods

Wintering water birds are counted each year in the middle of January along defined transects. The counting is done along the wetland shores by foot and with cars, using fieldscopes and binoculars with an observation distance of 1000-2000 meters. Several points with easy access to the water body are chosen. The same points are visited each year and for each site a separate protocol is filled in. All protocols are then combined into a single dataset for the water body. Geese are counted early in the morning when the birds fly towards their feeding grounds. The other water birds are counted during the day. Study area: Aleksandar Stamboliyski Reservoir.
