Ventė cape

Ventė Cape is a headland in Nemunas Delta, located in Šilutė district, Lithuania. It is known as a rest place for many birds during their migrations, particularly the autumn migration. Ventė Cape Ornithological Station - one of the first birds ringing stations in Europe, still in operation, was opened here by Tadas Ivanauskas in 1929. The great bird migration route stretches through Ventė Cape. During 1929-2015, Ventė Cape Ornithological Station staff has ringed nearly 2.5 million birds. In 2015, the station was resurrected to new life.
