Join Euro Birdwatch

Photographing birds natur&ëmwelt

Over the weekend of 1 and 2 October, Natur&Ëmwelt is hosting events to mark Euro Birdwatch Day in Remerschen and Munsbach.

In autumn, many migratory bird species leave their breeding grounds to winter in the south. Identifying migratory birds is not an easy task, but with the help of expert ornithologists, watchers can learn a lot about the fascinating world of birds.

They will be on hand at the at Biodiversum Camille Gira in Remerschen on Saturday, 1 October. The event includes a photo tour (bring your own camera) with nature photographer Roland Felten starting at 8am. A bird tour through the Haff Réimech area is set to start at 8.30am. Workshops and events for families begin at around 10am.

Other activities include bird ringing, a small art market, a photo exhibition as well as specialist literature and nature conservation products. Food and drink will be available.
