This year, the BRC had the honor of hosting three counters, Can Yeniyurt, Kadri Kaya, and Cemil Cezgin, from the brand-new Bosphorus bird migration count sites in Turkey.
Tomorrow, March 1st 2022, a small team of BRC volunteers will begin the 3rd and final spring count in Sakhalvasho, Georgia.
This year the third pilot spring count was supposed to be conducted. Sadly, after many considerations, we hereby announce that the count has officially been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With all that 2020 is throwing at us, last year feels like an eternity ago already.
It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that we are cancelling the BRC autumn count for 2020 due to the ongoing covid19 pandemic.
It has been an unavoidable topic in recent weeks and right now it has also become something that the BRC feels a need to act upon: the COVID-19 virus.
The final preparations for the upcoming Autumn Count are in full swing. Do you want to read up on what could be ahead of us this season?

After another very successful season in 2015, the volunteers of BRC only had a couple of weeks to recuperate, and while 2016 is still young, the preparations for the count of autumn 2016 are already in full swing.
During 20-23 February most members of the enlarged BRC team came to Ghent to spend a long weekend together.
The BRC has a new program board, now functioning within Bird Conservation Georgia. We welcome Folkert de Boer and Siranush Tumanyan as new members, and a few leave us.
Visual materials are an important asset for BRC to help convince grant-makers and sponsors to support our conservation work.
We kindly invite all members to attend the BRC General Meeting 2012, taking place in Ghent, Belgium, from the 7th to the 9th of December.
Over the past two weeks you elected a new Board, which will soon start preparations for a splendid 2013 edition of BRC.
