Big Bird Transit

If there is a bird’s paradise, where is it?

The Pripyat River. Near the city of Turov. This is where a uniquely amazing phenomenon in the history of the planet took place. People’s interests have become an organic part of the ecosystem. So, there was a new kind of natural landscape. Its name is floodplain meadow?

Why do migratory birds stop here on their way from South-Western Europe to North-Eastern Europe and from Africa to Siberia? What do they like here? And what role does the Turov meadow play in the international migration of hundreds of thousands of birds?

Watch our film about the life of migratory birds. We shot it from early spring until late autumn and now we are in a hurry to share these wonderful 4K videos. All the filming was made in the natural environment and it consists of 100% original shots that we are really proud of?

Who do we see?

A couple of terns decided to go fishing together, and it’s not a hobby… Beautiful great crested grebes walk on the polished surface of the lake. White- fronted geese prefer to spend time in small companies, listening to the romances of a long-billed redshank… A truly surreal picture: a tree, which has about fifty white storks sitting on it at the same time! Great snipes and ruffs fighting so hard, the feathers are flying in all directions! An oystercatcher poses for us, while sitting on its eggs. Also… These wonderful fluffy mallard chicks and brave little swimmers – coot chicks… All this is very curious and at the same time so cute and beautiful!
