This video says about itself:
2 October 2013
A meadow in the Chorokhi River delta, next to the Black Sea shore in Batumi (Georgia), is filled with migrant birds, stranded here because of bad weather in early September. Hoopoes, Yellow Wagtails, Wood Sandpipers, Wheatears, Lesser Grey Shrike, White-winged Black Tern, Whinchats, etc etc. Unfortunately this river delta is heavily (over!!-)hunted so every single one of these birds is really in danger when staying here. This delta is lying on a very strategic place for bird migration at the Batumi bottleneck. There is a huge turnover of resting and feeding migrant birds, but disturbance, pollution, ongoing urbanization and killing through hunting (poaching) are threats.
