Following the idea of Brent Goose team, it is time to name our birds. In Denmark and Norway our geese stayed close to each other. In Svalbard they spread and from now on this blog will be more 'individual'. Writing about goose #105859 sounds a bit boring so let's give them more personality. I know that the tagged birds are only males but I am sure they don't mind if we give them girls' names (in opposite to Brent Goose team:). So here we are:
Ingunn ('red' track, #105859) is named after Ingunn Tombre, a goose coordinator from Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and one of the leaders of this project
Caroline ('blue' track, #105860) is named after Caroline Simonsen who is part of the big goose project as well. Caroline cheered me up a lot in the field
Gitte ('yellow' track, #105861) is named after Gitte Jensen who is also part of the geese phd student team
Christiane ('green' track, #105862), named after Christiane Hübner, a goose lover from Svalbard.
Danuta ('black' track, #105863), after Danuta Wisniewska-phd student from Aarhus University. Danuta has nothing to do with geese (unless someone discovers that geese do echolocate) but partly thanx do her, I end up in Denmark
Lukasz ('pink' track, #105864) after Lukasz Ulbrych, the only male in this team but he fully deserves to be part of it.
