In the early morning of Midsummer day, we make a salad for the birds. For the last time, we discuss the situation in Zuvintas with our Belarusian colleagues after their departure. We set up an electric shepherd next to aviaries are tell about all the predator risk management measures in the swamp. We bring food for babies from Kaunas, discuss the dual situation of the little sick bird and summarize the results of Belarusian female searches. The productive day it was.
