Pievērsu uzmanību 2 aspektiem.

Leetchi ziedojumu vākšanai izvēlēta, lai tās noteikumi būtu ērtāk piemērojami vajadzībām...
The rule that funds will be returned to donors IF the target amount is not reached applies to other fund raising sites. We chose Leetchi because it does not have such restrictive rules. All funds collected will be available for the purchase of transmitters. Leetchi says that the target amount - in our case 3000 euros - should be thought of as a suggestion, not a firm rule. So what we have, we keep!

Katrin , veicot DNS analīzi pēc to spalvām
One more aspect of why the breeding season this year was successful in the nest of Kati and Karl – all the chicks were females! It is known that females are scarce in the population here. Many thanks to Katrin who took the time despite her tight schedule and determined the gender of the chicks from the DNA extracted from the feathers of the chicks!
