Nergui, Sachokchin, And Mendee Safely Home!

We’ve been monitoring the movements of our tagged bustards with baited breath as they’ve migrated 2000 km (1200 miles) homeward from their wintering grounds in China. As we’ve posted before, we are finding that mortality on the migratory route – due in large part to hunting – is a problem for these populations of Great Bustard. We are happy to report that this spring our tagged birds have all arrived safely home to northern Mongolia, where we wish them success in nesting and raising chicks this summer!
