World Migratory Bird Day is a global campaign supported by the United Nations. Observed on the second Saturday of May and October each year, it aims to raise awareness about the protection of migratory birds and the routes they travel.

This year's theme is "Shared spaces: Creating bird-friendly cities and communities." Let's meet some fascinating migratory birds you might spot right in town!
