Black-tailed #godwit SAMIUL oversummered in #Bangladesh & #India in 2023, but tried 1st northward #migration in 2024. Meanwhile (molecularly) characterized as bohaii subspecies, it just passed Bohai Bay in China and made #loopmigration! globalflywaynetwork.org/trac… @DelipDasBisharg
SAMIUL & ANIS are 2 recently tagged black-tailed #godwits in Bangladesh, that may be too young to start northward #migration to breed, but instead explored wetlands far west in Kolkata region in India. Both returned to Meghna #wetlands in Bangladesh. See globalflywaynetwork.org/trac…

The formidable #Taklaman desert is sometimes home to black-tailed #godwits during their #migration from wintering areas in #Bangladesh to/from breeding sites. #Grutto's JOS & MOBARAK are right there now. How do we know? How could YOU have known? Check: globalflywaynetwork.org/trac…
The Taklamakan Desert in China’s Xinjiang Autonomous Region is a gruelling environment equivalent in size to Germany and yet this is where this Biddulph’s Ground Jay (#BirdsSeenIn2024) one of only two endemic birds in this province has made his home [BirdingInChina.com].

Marcelina recently pushed another 60 km further north. She’s now using a large wetland near Daly Waters, about 2253 km from where we caught her in Jan. What a joy it is to document the first long distance movements of such an enigmatic and endangered species. 📷Daly Waters Pub

Bar-tailed #godwits are returning to #WaddenSea from #tundra & even in your armchair you can be part of their #migrations! globalflywaynetwork.org/trac… We receive increasingly detailed #tracks to find out what #shorebirds are telling us about our shared world. birdeyes.org
What could be more exciting than to see our GPS/GSM tracker on #NationalGeographic?! This type (HQBG1206) has only about 6 grams and works perfectly on Rosse #Grutto (in dutch), also known as the famous bar-tailed godwit. @NatGeoNL @RoelandBom @GlobalFlyway #avianmigration

And they are off! Movements over the last (and first) 48 hrs, showing the extensive use of the Tagus estuary rice fields by bt-godwits at this time of the year in preparation for their northwards journey! #biodiversity #conservation @eco_flyway @GlobalFlyway @CESAM_Univ @HQXSCN

Our HQBG1206 (6 grams) works perfectly for medium-sized birds. The new model (2023 generation) is also equipped with an accelerometer!
NEWS! Bar-tailed #godwit KINNUM, tagged during 2022 northward staging on #Terschelling, winters @PNBancarguin, now made early return from #tundra breeding grounds to #WaddenSea. The @HQXSCN tag managed to collect a nice informative #track on this individual #flyway. #WAAKVOGELS

Black-tailegd #godwit OVERVEEN, tagged by @VeenVitaal, gave away marvels of #migration during #flight from SW Netherlands to Senegal delta. @RoelandBom's quick analysis shows brief stops in Oléron & Donana and daytime climbs to #altitudes of 4-6 km, flying v high across #Sahara!
Last week 10 black-tailed godwits were equipped with GPS trackers as part of @Veenvitaal, a unique interdisciplinary #NWA project led by @ALIFE_VU professor Matty Berg. Make peat meadows futureproof and protect biodiversity! @NWONieuws @VUamsterdam vu.nl/en/news/2023/learning-…

Less than 2 weeks to decide on a good question for my first stint as advisory member in a PhD-thesis examining committee. A fun job when the thesis is as interesting and presented so beautifully as the work of @DrewBingrun.
It is fewer than 2 weeks to PhD thesis defence of @DrewBingrun at @univgroningen. The defence can be followed online, his thesis accessed online too. Black-tailed #godwits have yielded a few more of their many secrets through his biometric, genetic, tracking & ecological work.

En OVERVEEN, de eerste @VeenVitaal #grutto is al naar de Senegal Delta getrokken! Ook in WAfrika vertellen grutto's belangrijke verhalen, namelijk over kleinschalige rijstteelt & omgang met water die duurzaam is en gezond voor bodem en mensen. Volg ze op globalflywaynetwork.org/trac…
