Dead birds were found during monitoring of electricity lines

During the monitoring of the electricity lines in September-October 55 dead birds were found. The main migration of various Turdus species was at the end of October. In comparison to the previous year fewer dead individuals of the European Golden Plover were found. This year was dry, therefore conglomerations of birds in the Northern Lithuania were not so abundant.
