World Migratory Bird Day 2023 on 14 October will focus on the topic of water and its importance for migratory birds. It is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them.
Water is fundamental to life on our planet. The vast majority of migratory birds rely on aquatic ecosystems during their life cycles. Inland and coastal wetlands, rivers, lakes, streams, marshes, and ponds are all vital for feeding, drinking, or nesting, and also as places to rest and refuel during their long journeys.

Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened around the world and so are the migratory birds that depend on them. The increasing human demand for water, as well as pollution and climate change, are having a direct impact on the availability of clean water and the conservation status of many migratory birds.

In 2023, the World Migratory Bird Day theme is Water. Water is fundamental to sustaining life on our planet. Virtually all migratory birds rely on water and its associated habitats at some point during their life cycles. Lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands, and coastal waters are all vital for feeding, drinking, or nesting and as places to rest and refuel during long seasonal migrations.
Unfortunately, these aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened around the world, and so are the migratory birds that depend on them. The increasing human demand for water, as well as pollution and climate change, is having a direct impact on the quantity and quality of water resources and on the conservation status of many migratory bird species.
In 2023, the importance of water is the focus of World Migratory Bird Day, an annual global campaign that celebrates the migration of birds across countries and continents. Throughout the year, we will spread the message that “water sustains bird life” and provide actions for managing water resources and protecting healthy aquatic ecosystems.

The record-breaking feats of the Arctic Tern. By far the longest migration known in the animal kingdom, this medium-sized bird travels 90,000 km (55,923 mi) from pole to pole every year — from Greenland in the North to the Weddell Sea in the South.

It's incredible to think how far these birds arrive!

Such a simple idea, but sounds really effective:
"Tory MPs back mandatory swift bricks in all new homes to help declining birds - Calls grow for legislation requiring developers to include hollow bricks for endangered nesting species.
Conservative MPs are joining calls for a new law to guarantee swift bricks in every new home to help the rapidly declining bird and other endangered roof-nesting species.
Pressure is growing to amend the levelling up bill so that developers are required to include a hollow brick for nesting birds in all new housing, with MPs to debate the issue in parliament on 10 July"

Storks in Portugal at Cegonha Branca:
In April there was an abundance of storks making a return to the Algarve skies. Although it’s widely recorded that many stay year-round in the Algarve, most storks do leave Portugal during the winter months. They’ll usually return to their nests around late March and April. Not long after this, chicks will be born and if it’s a successful nest, they’ll have up to five chicks to feed. Storks are carnivores and their natural diet consists of everything from insects to small mammals, amphibians and even other birds.
White Storks or Cegonha branca as they’re locally known, are some of the most distinctive and easily recognisable birds in Portugal. Averaging a height of between 80 and 115 cm tall and with a wingspan of up to 215 cm the White Stork is a large and distinctive bird. It is easy to recognise by its large red beak, white and black plumage and long red legs. Unlike many bird species, white storks show very little variation between male and females. The only difference being that females are recorded as being slightly smaller. Once fully grown, it’s also hard to distinguish young from old. Although much younger birds will have a black or grey beak. Storks can live for a maximum of up to thirty-five years in the wild
