> www.macroecology.ku.dk/africamigrants. It is set up

> the Center for Macroecology of the University of

> 
> - download our publications on Palearctic migrants
> in Africa
> - download a list of Western Palearctic bird species
> migrating within Africa
> - download geo-referenced records on the
> distribution of Palearctic migrants 
> in Africa
> - enter new records for Palearctic migrants in
> Africa
> - find useful links to other websites dealing with
> bird migration
> 
> Much data that was brough together by observers over

> notably from observers in Kenya (by using the
> special migrant-forms, later 
> also from Birdfinder), went into this database. Much
