Today @HenkvanderJeugd Tjomme van Mastrigt and I caught birds near Utrecht. The detection of the first bird carrying the West Nile virus in the Netherlands intensified live bird surveillance.

OHPACT research continuous come rain come shine and with great local interest from young and old #NCOH #OHPACT

Extremely strong nocturnal bird migration from both Norway as well as on continental Europe on radar right now. Birds flying high with even an extra layer around 2 km altitude, flysafe-birdtam.eu/composite_anim…

Very interesting and diverse week with One Health PACT! Mosquito identification, wild bird catching and metagenomic sequencing for arboviral surveillance in wildlife. Rody Blom Tjomme van Mastrigt Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl Essenburgpark

This morning we equipped the first Common blackbird with colour-rings for our project. We study their breeding success, survival and dispersal. Please keep an eye out for blackbirds (with colour-rings) in Wageningen and Nijmegen (NL)!

Last Sunday, Tjomme van Mastrigt @Morrison_Pot Jurrian van Irsel woke up very early to catch birds in Wageningen. This fledged Common blackbird was one of them, which was colour-ringed, sampled for USUV and WNV and released. Hopefully we can find the bird breeding in 2022!

Hi, I am Tjomme van Mastrigt and I am a PhD candidate at the Dutch Centre for Avian Migration and Demography / Vogeltrekstation NL Inst of Ecology. In the coming two weeks I will be taking over the #OHPACT account to update you on my project. #OneHealth

Do swans 🦢 return to the same wintering areas every year or make choices on the wing due to the weather? Researchers Hans Linssen Bart Nolet IBED NL Inst of Ecology used GPS data to show that swans do indeed decide where to stop based on the temperature 👇 go.uva.nl/3F769og
