@Dimitrios: I don't know exactly, they count birds in several spots to see how many they are and after a few times doing that you can make an estimate based on density and area they fill.

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: It is a lot, but because you can't get close in this reserve, there is no possibility to make close ups.
