Tracking pink footed geese

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

It is time to sum up autumn-winter migration. Number of uplinks is not so peachy and we have huge gaps when we don't know what happened to our birds. Reduced sun radiation and cloud cover did not allow solar batteries to fully recharge. We received mainly ARGOS locations which are not so accurate but better ought than nought.
Below are our geese 'go back home' routes. We more or less regularly receive data from Ingunn and Danuta and both geese are now in Denmark. Last news from Christiane we received 22.10!!! when he was still in The Netherlands. Lukasz send the last signal 6.12 from Tipperne in Denmark and Caroline on 30.12 from Belgium.
