Join a guiding and learn more about the birds at Falsterbo!
Every year more than 5000 people are guided at Falsterbo Bird Observatory.
A guiding always includes ringing of some birds, a very appreciated feature.
During ringing seasons (April-May and August-October) we guide groups (school children,
birdwatchers and many others). These guidings take place at the Falsterbo
Lighthouse. A guidning lasts for about an hour and the following
parts are included (adjusted to the age of contenders):
Site Orientation
Geographic situation, nature, concentration of migratory birds.
Birds and Bird Migration
How birds have developed and adapted from being Dinosaurs! How and why do birds migrate?
Orientation, migration strategies, flight performance etc.
Falsterbo Bird Observatory
The need and benefit of Bird Observatories. Examples of
research results. Special attention is paid to monitoring and
environmental surveillance. Population changes in migrants from the Nordic
countries as well as in local breeding birds are registered at Falsterbo.
Ringing of recently trapped birds
Always included.
