Bird watchers have noticed several spring migratory birds returning to Latvia in the past couple of days, according to information published on Latvijasputni.lv, cites LETA.

The common kestrel was noticed in the vicinity of Pape Lake already on February 13, as this bird tends to return very early after the winter period. Several days later, ornithologists noticed about 20 gray geese and several greylag geese in the vicinity of the lake, as well as a number of whooper swans in Aizpute Region. Another whooper swan was noticed also in Daugavpils. A hen harrier, another spring migratory bird, was seen in Madona Region.

Several northern lapwings were noticed near the city of Liepaja at the end of the week. A number of sky larks were also seen in Liepaja.
