Bird lovers will today engage in a bird-sighting and recording event to mark the World Migratory Bird Day and eBird Global Big Day.
The day is aimed at creating awareness on migratory birds, the need to conserve their habitat and give bird lovers a chance to record their sightings on the eBird application.
“Bird lovers will record their sightings across all birding hotspots like Important Bird Areas. They can also record from anywhere, from their homes or the garden. Once they record the bird species on the e-Bird application, their home countries will then be ranked according to the number of species recorded,” Richard Kipng’eno, a bird expert at Nature Kenya said, adding that anyone can participate.
