Artificial nests to help conserve rare bird species populations in the Paanajarvi National Park
Scientists are determined to boost the populations of rare bird species in the Paanajarvi National Park by using artificial nesting structures. They were erected by ornithologist Sergey Simonov during his trip to the park in February. A week’s work, one and half cubic meters lumber, two thousand screws and there – over forty nest platforms and boxes are ready to be deployed and welcome the first avian settlers: White-tailed Sea Eagles, buzzards, owls, mergansers, and other species.
