In North Africa caught ringed in Yamal peregrine

A bird ringed during the expedition of the Children’s Ecological Station on the Tazov Peninsula was caught in northern Africa near the Libyan city of Benghazi. According to the Union for the Protection of Birds of Russia, this point became the westernmost, where the Yamburg falcons were caught.

About the capture of ringed females learn more often, because they are larger than males and are used in falconry. This time the prisoner was a male who was lured with the help of a pigeon. The catchers were told that the male was small and undervalued as a hunting bird, and asked to let him go. Earlier, the bird was ringed by a guest from Abu Dhabi Mohammed al-Baydani. After the appeal, catchers from Libya replied that the bird was released, but there is no confirmation.

In July, on the Obskaya-Karskaya railway bridges, ornithologists recorded an increase in the number of nests of red-book phrasing. Positive dynamics was noted in the sapsans.
