Friday
Departure from Minsk at 16:00. After arriving to the eco-lodge we will have a tasty dinner and get acquainted with the ornithologist who will guide us during these days.
Saturday
We start the day with the bird ringing. We will observe a bird ringing station, get to know why do birds (or ornithologists) need those rings, how do the nets for catching the birds look like, etc. Then we watch how the early birds get their rings, investigate what species are caught, what are some specific features of each kind. We are going to check the nets every hour: any time a new bird can be caught!
We move to the favorite habitats of woodpeckers: wetlands, aspen forests. We will listen and watch!
Then we are going for an exciting tour to a nearby upland bog. You will get acquainted with this wonderful biosphere, its plants, birds and other inhabitants.
In the evening we go to a wildlife safari in search of deer, roe deer and moose.
Sunday
In the morning we check the nets and ring the birds. Perhaps there will be some new species, which we didn't catch the first day. We also go to the forest that to hear owls and woodpeckers that we did not meet on the first day. After a tasty lunch, we leave for Minsk. The estimated time of arrival is 19:00.
