  • 26/06/2022

Kuwait City: According to bird watchers from the Kuwaiti Environmental Protection Society who have kept track of the presence of 7,600 different species of terns on the island, the nature reserves, whether in Jahra or the islands, have transformed into sizable settlements for migratory birds of various kinds despite the country's noticeable and significant rise in temperatures. Although the society anticipates that there will be roughly 15,000 terns in Kubbar, it is well known that the flocks of birds will depart Kuwait at the conclusion of their migration season in August and move towards the Indian Ocean. 


The society revealed that 11 other birds’ species have been monitored in the Jahra Reserve. The Society stated according to records since 1954 about 391 species of migratory birds have been visiting Kuwait, while the diversity of migratory birds has been monitored in many areas since last March until this month, starting from the areas of Al-Zour Port, Jahra, Doha, Al-Wafra and the Green Island.
