Almost all of the birds that were collected within a few hours from three regions in the island (Sarakiniko, Karave, Kastri - but mostly the first area).
A mass migratory bird death event took place in the island this season. Its probable cause was strong North winds that caused a 1-2 week delay in Africa-East Europe migration. Many birds arrived to the island in critical condition, which was worsened by the lack of food and water. Most died of starvation and exhaustion and many were killed by cats and dogs.
