      <image:caption>BRC prioritises collection of high-quality data, including demographic parameters, of selected species for which migration counts are most likely to produce informative data on population trends. This approach was critical to prove that the vast majority of Honey Buzzards recorded at Batumi are adult birds, and that global breeding population estimates up until 2020 vastly underestimated the true population size of this species (Vansteelant et al. 2020).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2020 we published a long-read cover article in British Birds (Hoekstra et al. 2020), recounting the history of the BRC project, offering a detailed description of a typical autumn migration season at Batumi, and laying out a vision for future development of the project. The article was later translated and elaborated for Russian readers in Raptors Conservation (Zaytseva et al. 2022).</image:caption>

Birds from all three areas have a largely overlapping non-breeding range. However, our analyses (in prep) reveal surprising differences in migration corridors and schedules between Marsh Harriers breeding in the Low Countries (BE, NL) vs. those breeding in Sweden (SW).</image:caption>
