A new season for Pernis

Hy,
this week I have received all the information about the new season of Pernis.
As seasons before, during this year we will be observing migration during 10 journeys between august and october, four hours each day. The first date will be between friday 13th and monday 17th august and the last one will probably be on October 16th.
The place where I will observe migration will be the same, l'Enclusa at the east part of Taradell, and like other years I'll try to find extra time to visit other places as Pernis coordinators require if it's possible.
Finally I'll try to give detailled information of other non raptor species, such as swallows, warblers or others, and I'll define the different routes followed for each bird travelling near l'Enclusa.
Let's go again.

A brief of Pernis 2009

The 7th season of Pernis has finished. From 2003 we have been more than 280 hours, at l'Enclusa.
