The site is the first of its kind organised by BirdLife and is coordinated by OTOP (BirdLife in Poland).   The project is based on a brand new interactive web-site (www.springalive.net), where youngsters interested in nature, their families and teachers will be able to enter their first observations of four wild bird species migrating back to Europe from warmer climes. These species - the White Stork Ciconia ciconia, Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus, Common Swift Aous apus and Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica are the project’s 'Spring Messengers'.   The Spring Alive! web site includes information about the four key species, their habitats and migration It is also allows the visitor to enter observational data. Games and other information are also available on the site. Available in many European languages, it is easy to access and use for almost any child in Europe.   "Observations entered on the easy-to-use web site will be used to generate maps showing the progress of birds arriving across Europe as they return from their winter travels. Thanks to Spring Alive! everyone will be able to literally see the progress of Spring in their country." —Joanna Kalinowska, Spring Alive! Co-ordinator     "In the longer term, the Spring Alive! project will enable BirdLife to compare the 'arrival' of Spring each year to assess how different factors influence the migration of birds. With time, those data may reveal some annual peculiarities and may become vary useful for monitoring the long term effect of other important environmental issues on these species, such as climate change or habitat loss," added Joanna Kalinowska, BirdLife’s Spring Alive! Project Co-ordinator.   Already, the first returning migrant has been recorded on the site, a White Stork seen in Spain's Andalucia region on 3 February.   « Last Edit: Feb 9th, 2006, 10:39pm by Webcreeper » Logged HKBWS Manager (Projects & Communication) 香港觀鳥會 經理(項目及傳訊) Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題 => Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
