Less than 2 weeks to decide on a good question for my first stint as advisory member in a PhD-thesis examining committee. A fun job when the thesis is as interesting and presented so beautifully as the work of Bingrun Zhu (DREW).

De VeenVitaal grutto’s zijn dagelijks te volgen via globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project…

En OVERVEEN, de eerste VeenVitaal #grutto is al naar de Senegal Delta getrokken! Ook in WAfrika vertellen grutto's belangrijke verhalen, namelijk over kleinschalige rijstteelt & omgang met water die duurzaam is en gezond voor bodem en mensen. Volg ze op globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project…

The big day is coming!

Black-tailegd #godwit OVERVEEN, tagged by VeenVitaal, gave away marvels of #migration during #flight from SW Netherlands to Senegal delta. @RoelandBom's quick analysis shows brief stops in Oléron & Donana and daytime climbs to #altitudes of 4-6 km, flying v high across #Sahara!

Look at these wonderful organisations and people. Without them, our tracking project would not be possible. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️🙏💚

We have redesigned our logo, and the elements of nature are now much more lively.

Our HQBG1206 (6 grams) works perfectly for medium-sized birds. The new model (2023 generation) is also equipped with an accelerometer!

Global Messenger is thrilled to announce our new developments: (1) a web-based data management platform for seamless data management. (2) iPhone users now have a new smartphone-based data management platform. hqxs-tracker.com:21235

And they are off! Movements over the last (and first) 48 hrs, showing the extensive use of the Tagus estuary rice fields by bt-godwits at this time of the year in preparation for their northwards journey! #biodiversity #conservation Eco Flyway Global Flyway Network @CESAM_Univ Global Messenger

Marcelina recently pushed another 60 km further north. She’s now using a large wetland near Daly Waters, about 2253 km from where we caught her in Jan. What a joy it is to document the first long distance movements of such an enigmatic and endangered species. 📷Daly Waters Pub

16 Global Messenger tags were deployed in last week at Iceland. All are transmitting and the chicks start hatching ☺️ PROPOLAR FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia ECOTOP

Bar-tailed #godwits are returning to #WaddenSea from #tundra & even in your armchair you can be part of their #migrations! globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/species… We receive increasingly detailed #tracks to find out what #shorebirds are telling us about our shared world. birdeyes.org

We look forward to seeing you all at the 2024 International Wader Study Group conference, we will be hosting a Shroebirds Tracking Prize during the conference! For more details, please follow rb.gy/zvly5i Wader Study

The formidable #Taklaman desert is sometimes home to black-tailed #godwits during their #migration from wintering areas in #Bangladesh to/from breeding sites. #Grutto's JOS & MOBARAK are right there now. How do we know? How could YOU have known? Check: globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project…

Black-tailed #godwit SAMIUL oversummered in #Bangladesh & #India in 2023, but tried 1st northward #migration in 2024. Meanwhile (molecularly) characterized as bohaii subspecies, it just passed Bohai Bay in China and made #loopmigration! globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project… Delip Das Bisharga
