Migratory Birds Cross Qatar Skies
Migratory birds arrive in Qatar during the autumn season, stopping to rest and feed during their journeys from breeding areas in northern Europe and Asia to wintering regions in Africa and South Asia. These migrations follow multiple routes that can last for weeks or months. The migration season, which begins in September, involves various bird species, including seabirds and terrestrial birds. Qatar serves as an important stopover point for rest and nourishment, especially in locations such as the Dakhira Reserve, northern coastlines, and wetlands. Bird hunting in Qatar is regulated and permitted under specific approvals, in accordance with laws designed to balance economic benefits with the protection of migratory bird species. Only ten species are allowed to be hunted, while hunting others is prohibited to ensure the continuity of migration routes and biodiversity. Bird presence and phenomena change periodically, with ongoing monitoring of their environmental importance and directives aimed at preserving their safety and ecological balance.
