To make it clear what we are talking about, let's explain the meaning of this word. "Birding" is amateur ornithology, which includes observing and studying birds with the naked eye or with the help of binoculars.

To make it clear what we are talking about, let's explain the meaning of this word. "Birding" is amateur ornithology, which includes observing and studying birds with the naked eye or with the help of binoculars.

Photobirding is when birds need not only to be seen but also photographed.

On a clear September day, the competition participants set off along the protected trails, where they could not only see, hear, and photograph various birds, but also feel the atmosphere of pristine nature, as well as observe rural landscapes and listen to the sounds of the autumn forest.

After the trip, they prepared and submitted their photographs and checklists to the jury. It must be said that it was difficult for the commission to determine the winners, as each participant's photos had their own unique charm and individuality.

By the number of points scored, the winners of the competition were the team of Natalia Kosar and Inessa Parkulevich, who received a gift certificate for the excursion "Living Orchestra" as a prize. The second place was taken by the team of Svetlana Savitskaya and Olga Gavrosh, who will go on the excursion "River Builder". On the third step of the podium were Tatiana Kornilovich and Anna Myalik, who will be able to visit the excursion "Meeting the Feathered Ones".
