1. KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR WILD BIRDS
Dr. Martin Gilbert is a Wildlife Veterinarian and Associate Director for Asia.
He has just returned from Mongolia, following completion of the 2009
field season. As a continuation of previous years he has devoted
considerable efforts to the capture and marking of swans and geese,
which in 2009 has numbered over 470 birds (with 21 recaptures from
previous years). Birds are now migrating south, and he is seeking your
help in publicizing the work among observers in India, in order to
increase the yield of data that we could potentially receive on these
birds.

Also, as with previous years, every observer who provides information
will receive a response, providing data collected during capture
(including location and individual details) as well as any prior
resightings on their birds. Information will also be passed onto the
Mongolian Academy of Sciences for their records.
