Danuta moved south to Trøndelag. He is very close to the place which he 'used' on the his way to the breeding ground. Now is roosting after long flight ....
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
25.09 Welcome back!
After having no connection with our tags, we received first positions from the autumn migration. Lukasz and Christiane are on their way to wintering ground(s). Unfortunately we don't know too many details about their way 'home', whether they stopped in any 'typical geese' stopovers sites. Lukasz is flying towards Oslo.Christiane is also around Oslo and this is the first news after almost a month break. So welcome back and stay in touch! Fingers crossed for more news from other folks.
18.09.2011 Lukasz on his way home
Still no signals from 5 birds but yesterday we received ARGOS locations from Lukasz. He is on its way south. When geese are flying, batteries are more probably to charge so hopefully we can get more information soon.
16.09.2011 Hard times for the tags...
We haven't received any signals from our birds since many days. The solar radiation, cloud cover and shrinking day time in the Arctic do not let the batteries to charge. So finger crossed that on the way south, we get more uplinks. Trøndelag is full of greylags but no pinkies yet, so I assume that our birds are still freezing in Svalbard. Below the last position of Danuta from last week
