Volunteers welcome on an owl ringing camp at the wild Polish Baltic Coast, run by Polish Owl Conservation Society, in October 2016 (7th to 14th). It is a niche and very rewarding opportunity for Birders fascinated by these secretive creatures. You will help to handle caught owls, identify and ring them as well as with measuring and data entry tasks. You will get to know and distinguish every caught species by direct contact!
What will I do? You will handle birds, taking them out of the nets. Our main duty will be to regularly check mist nets installed near the camp. We will take caught birds to the base, where they will be identified, ringed and measured. We will weight them and release back to the wild. We will registered all observations made by the Ringer in a special notebook.
Where will I stay? In a truly wild place, in the heart of well-known Landscape Park! There are lots of tourists in the season, but now you will experience deep silence and solitude of pristine beaches and aromatic pine forests. Staff and Volunteers sleep in a rustic, simple forester's lodge with all facilities. Food is provided as well, but we cook our own common meals.
Who are you looking for? It's an exciting international experience for Birdwatchers, Bird Ringers and Nature Lovers, but we welcome persons from all walks of life. You don't have to know birds well. The tasks will be tailored to your individual needs and high-quality field training is provided.
What's in it for me? We offer HANDS-ON intensive exchange of specialist knowledge and HANDS-ON experience in field research abroad accompanied by our high-quality training in bird species identification, handling and measurements. All of this confirmed by our unique Certificate of Participation to boost your CV. We offer deep contact with pristine Wilderness. Stunning, tranquil Baltic sunrises and sunsets, walks on wild beaches and looking for ambers. You will meet inspiring, like-minded people and gain unforgettable memories!
To apply: simply reply to this post or send a Private Message to us and introduce yourself in few words, explaining why you are interested in the Project and why we should choose YOU as a Participant. You will receive a detailed Infosheet and the Application Form. You can also email Joanna: joanna.azc[at]gmail.com for details.
