Bem vindo ao site da SPEA - sociedade portuguesa para o estudo de aves

The main goal of the Christmas and New Year Bird Counts (Portuguese acronym CANAN) is to follow the population trends of wintering species in Portuguese farmlands, through a simple methodology.
If you are going into the countryside during Christmas or New Year's Eve and visiting mostly farmland areas, we ask that you conduct a counting trail. If you want to participate, please request the counting instructions and data recording forms. Then just send the filled in forms before 28 February. The next field work season begins on 15 December 2010 and ends on 31 January 2011.
