World-class migration monitoring soars or falls with your support!
Batumi Raptor Count is a non-profit organization that monitors the migration of raptors in the East African-Eurasian flyway. In our evermore hectic world there’s little room and funding for in-depth and long-term monitoring. Nevertheless, with the support of generous donors we deliver unique data on the health of poorly known raptor populations. As a 100% volunteer-based organization, with a yearly fund of just €30.000, we can continue this cutting-edge citizen science project.
Funding for raptor monitoring in 2026
We are raising €30,000 for the 2026 edition of the Batumi Raptor Count. Help us reach this goal with a one-time or recurring donation.

2025 Autumn Report
As if nature was making up for not making the million mark last year, we counted no less than a staggering 1.5 million raptors this year. We have more — way more — than just raw numbers in our new, richly illustrated, autumn report.
