This blog was started to keep you informed about movement of 11 tagged Svalbard breeding pink-footed geese. The project was launched in Denmark in March 2011. The aim of the tracking is to get detailed knowledge about migration, diurnal rhythm, behaviour and habitat choice of pink footed geese. The project is part of a larger international program with the overall aim to develop the scientific basis for an adaptive flyway management for the Svalbard population of pink-footed geese
15.08.2011 Goodbye Gitte
Due to Gulf Stream, western Svalbard is warmer than east coast. Gitte seems not to take care about that and stayed on Edgøya. Unfortunately he lost the tag 18.05 so maybe is with his family now in some 'warmer' place. Finger crossed for Sysselmanen and his tag rescue team!!!!
