Here at last .....almost

It is a while since I last posted. This year we have decided to go to the Khurkh Bird Ringing Station to the east of Mongolia.

We have arrived at Ulanbaatar airport Mongolia after the two long flight journeys. Tomorrow we have a 400km taxi drive to the ringing station.



They have a reputation of catching excellent birds, 113 species last year. Below is a link to their Facebook page which makes some interesting reading.

All being well if internet access allows there will be further blogs with pictures and stories of birds we have caught and processed.
