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
16. 05 First-come first-served
Three geese (Lukasz, Ingunn and R58) are racing down to Svalbard. Similarly as last year, Lukasz did not stop in Vesterålen. He rested some hours on the water south from Vesterålen and than headed to the North. R58 only stopped for few hours, probably for some grassy tea and flew towards Svalbard. Now is time to eat, find a cosy spot for a nest and again... become a daddy.
