"Safe Islands for Seabirds"

During February, the LIFE project " Safe Island for Seabirds" extended their work to different islands of the archipelago, dividing the team geographically for the different tasks in role. This situation didn't allow a fast update of the blog and led to some comments by the followers of the blog. We regret this situation and promise to catch up as soon as possible.

The tasks that have been developed are:
- Atlas of the winter birds on the island of Flores and Corvo;
- Count of waterbirds on the island of Corvo;
- Birdwatching in Flores;
- The placement of recording systems in seabird colonies (Flores);
- Data analysis from rats and cats blood samples, with the support of the IMAR in Coimbra;
- Plantation of 3,000 plants at Corvo Biological Reserve;
- Plantation of 2000 plants at Vila Franca do Campo Islet (São Miguel), with the support of the project LIFE Laurissilva;
- The donation of neir 300 endemic plants to the inhabitants of the island of Corvo;
- Transplanting plants to project nursery;
- Control of weeds in the biological reserve and the islet;
- processing and editing of the project documentary;
- And the analysis and identification of invertebrates.

We thank all the followers for your interest for the project blog and the conservation of seabirds.
