The 2nd Birdwatching Meeting will take place from 31st October to 4th November 2012, on Terceira Island as part of the Outono Vivo festivities in the municipality of Praia da Vitória taking place from the 26th October to 4th November.
This
initiative follows the 1st Regional Birdwatching Meeting, which took
place in Ponta Delgada on 24th October 2011, and is now being held
on Terceira, at the Praia da Vitória Bogs. The Meeting aims to promote the
potential for birdwatching in the Azores in the local community and market the
birds spotted in the Azores in the international birdwatching community.
With this
initiative we plan to bring together international specialists and the local
birdwatching community for presentations
and debates on the potential and main difficulties in developing
birdwatching in the Azores.
The Meeting
includes two Workshops: one on
scientific illustration with Pedro Fernandes and one on Photographing Birds
with Menno Van Duijn.
At the same
time, we intend to have a photography contest
with prizes to involve the local birdwatching community and foreign
birdwatchers that have previously photographed birds in the Azores. Through the
photography contests and their promotion, we hope to bring the attention of
birdwatchers, who choose their holiday destinations based on birdwatching
opportunities, to the Azores as a destination and to promote the diversity of
avifauna on Terceira Island, especially in the Praia da Vitória Bogs.
This
initiative follows others carried out by the Regional Tourism Association to
promote birdwatching. The Regional Tourism Association and its members believe
this initiative is of extreme importance to the development of the local
birdwatching community. The following are partners and sponsors of this event: Municipality
of Praia da Vitória, the Natural Park of Terceira Island, the Regional Tourism
Board and the Marine Observatory of the Azores.
