“The [bird] migration in the
European part of Russia
Strong northern winds and -30
degree Celsius temperatures have also stopped the migration of birds to Russia ’s Far East ,
in particular the Amur region, she said.
Another bird expert said there was
nothing unusual about the halt in the migration, however.
During flight, birds quickly lose
their fat reserves, and if they see that it is cold and that there is nothing
to eat they normally stop and do not fly any further, said Sergei Ogurtsov, an
associate professor at the Moscow State University School of Biology.
“If it gets colder they can roam
around and even move back a little further south,” Ogurtsov said.
