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

6.08 May sound a bit boring...

I am back and so the blog news. Unfortunately there is not much to share with you. From the 'new' geese (geese tagged this year), only Johnny gives some signals from the North (OK, we got one position from R58). The 'old' team on the other hand is pretty active.

Lukasz hopefully with his family left the nest and is probably moulting now in western Svalbard.

Johnny is still on Edgeøya and R58 showed once around Vanmijen fjorden

Danuta is the only one who took his moulting trip. Last year he moulted on Edgeøya, this year moved a bit north to Barents Island

Ingunn still around Ekmanfjorden

It seems that family life is a bit boring :)
