Yenisey - birds of Central Siberia

The Yenisey river is the world's sixth and the Russia's the largest river in terms of discharge. It runs from the south to the north dividing the territory of Russia in two. Its drainage basin consists of three absolutely different parts. The Upper Yenisey is surrounded by the Sayan Mountains and runs northwards deviding western Siberia and the Central Siberian Plateau. It's interesting that even ornithological diversity on two Yenisey coasts is different. For example, Great Snipe and Grey Crow have been seen only on the left and west bank while White Wagtail and Rock Thrush inhabit the right bank.
The route goes across the three basic territories of the Yenisey basin: its mountainious southen part, the Easten Sayan and famous Krasnoyarsk Stolby. In the middle part of the river, the tour camp is at the biological station, located on the border of the Central Siberian Reserve, and in the North we visit Kutarmakan lake situated on the Putoran Plateau. On this tour you will get a complete ornithological picture of the whole region.
During the program the tourists are accompanied by a qualified ornithologist. Ornithologists of protected areas visited are also involved in different activities.
