Birding In Georgia
In Georgia there occur around 360 bird species, of which over 250 different species are breeders. It’ s obvious that the ornitho– fauna is exceptionally diverse for such a small country (69 500 sq.km.). Georgia along with the other Caucasian countries lies across a migration corridor, so called “ funnel“ or “ bottle neck“ between the Black and Caspian Seas, and it’ s due to this funnel that the diversity and numbers of birds in Georgia astoundingly increases during spring and fall migrations. Many of the migrant species that does not breed in Georgia can be found here either throughout the year or for most of the year. This country’ s land is shared by species typical of Europe including the Mediterranean region, Central Asia (e.g. Great Rosefinch – Carpodacus rubicilla and White– winged Redstart – Phoenicurus erythrogaster) and the Middle East (e.g. Black Francolin – Francolinus francolinus and Caspian Snowcock – Tetraogallus caspius) as well as of the Caucasus with such indigenous birds as Caucasian Snowcock (Tetraogallus caucasicus), Caucasian Black Grouse (Tetrao mlokosiewiczi) and Caucasian Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus lorenzii).

For Birdwatchers
Information’s pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.
Throw your dreams into space like Georgia and you don’t know what it will bring back: a new life, new friends, a new love, a new country, or the new birds...
