Abstract

Since 2008 Batumi Raptor Count (BRC) project has been monitoring autumn migration of birds of prey in the eastern African-Palearctic flyway in southwest Georgia on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Every autumn this flyway is used by a significant proportion of the global population of such raptor species as Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), Montagu’s Harrier (Circus pygargus), Pallid Harrier (C. macrourus) and Marsh Harrier (C. aeruginosus). At least 1% of the global population of 10 raptor species migrates through the Batumi flyway. Batumi Raptor Count is of vital importance for the development of ecotourism in the region, creating an economic, political, and social foundation for raptor conservation and contributing to a reduction of widespread illegal hunting. The project also works to introduce ecology and conservation into local schools and higher education programs. This manuscript’s aim is to summarise the 13 years of the BRC. It contains a detailed description of a typical migration season in one of the most important bottlenecks for raptor migration globally. The current manuscript is loosely based on the publication in British Birds summarising the history of the BRC (Hoekstra et al., 2020). The main difference, apart from publishing it in Russian, is in taking into account the data obtained in 2021 and emphasising the importance of the autumn migration monitoring in Batumi for the conservation and research of the Russian raptor populations.
巴统十三年猛禽迁徙记录:观察结果及其对俄罗斯猛禽保护的重要性
自2008年以来,巴统猛禽计数(BRC)项目一直在监测黑海东海岸格鲁吉亚西南部东非-古北极飞行路线上猛禽的秋季迁徙。每年秋天,这条飞行路线都会被全球相当大比例的猛禽物种使用,如蜜雕(Pernis apivorus)、蒙塔古鹞(Circus pygargus)、白鹞(C. macrourus)和沼泽鹞(C. aeruginosus)。全球10种猛禽中至少有1%通过巴统飞行路线迁徙。巴统猛禽数量对该地区生态旅游的发展至关重要,为猛禽保护创造了经济、政治和社会基础,并有助于减少广泛的非法狩猎。该项目还致力于将生态学和自然保护引入当地学校和高等教育课程。这份手稿的目的是总结BRC的13年。它详细描述了一个典型的迁徙季节,这是猛禽全球迁徙最重要的瓶颈之一。目前的手稿大致基于英国鸟类总结BRC历史的出版物(Hoekstra et al., 2020)。除了用俄语出版外,主要的区别在于考虑了2021年获得的数据,并强调了巴统秋季迁徙监测对俄罗斯猛禽种群的保护和研究的重要性。
