GLOBAL FLYWAY NETWORK

Fifteen years in the making, some #marathonmigrants are now enabled to demonstrate their capacity as integrative, down-to-Earth Observers - at appropriate spatial scales!

We explore geographical squeezing of the 2 Asian subspecies of black-tailed #godwits under #climatechange scenarios in new paper in @GlobalChangeBio #openaccess: https://t.co/RwNnTE9kmv
Paper is based on genetically verified breeding locations of specimens & birds with trackers. https://t.co/jReTITHfK0 https://t.co/VGcW3w4Wkl

#Spoonbills connect places & people, and at no place in the world this is more tangible than at Playa de la Barossa, near Cádiz, in Spain.
The #CitizenScience group LIMES PLATALEA is recruiting volunteers. Witness #spoonbill flocks crossing the sea from Europe to Africa! #flyway https://t.co/Fv5n2I3eWt https://t.co/bLgdJNfDNH

@RonRonMes @PNBancarguin @BacomabFund @NIOZnieuws @prcmarine @MavaFdn @Ch_Karibuhoye @ibapgbissau @eco_flyway @Waddenacademie @WaddenseaUNESCO @RijkeWaddenzee @HacenElHacen Sommige technieken zijn zéér toekomstbestendig-dit is er één van. Gebruik van GPS om random punten te vinden was een tijdje geleden heel innoverend, en wat dacht je van dat slimme gebruik van sneeuwschoenen? Ook nieuw. Alleen zo bereiken we lange termijn series van modderdieren!

For bar-tailed #godwits breeding on Siberian #tundra 30 June is still early. However, #Bijagós-tagged MAIO & UNO now made the move to Taymyr coast, so seem to have given up, having lost clutch or brood. CAMINHATE & RUBANE are still in the reproductive race (no news from POILAO). https://t.co/3PGiD022cI https://t.co/0CTz8oMRgI

@JulianGW1 @PNBancarguin @BacomabFund @NIOZnieuws @prcmarine @MavaFdn @Ch_Karibuhoye @ibapgbissau @eco_flyway @Waddenacademie @WaddenseaUNESCO @RijkeWaddenzee @HacenElHacen The snow shoes only work if there is a layer of seagrass ABOVE the mud. It is the seagrass layer that makes kit work. The snowshoes don't work ON uncovered mud

The benthos team @PNBancarguin - with support from @BacomabFund and help from @NIOZnieuws -, is busy with another session in the seasonal benthic monitoring of the ##intertidal #mudflats at the Parc National du Banc d'Arguin in Mauritania, a worldwide unique research effort! https://t.co/rcjamdKWPw

@Joris_PvdA @LauraBromet Het argument gaat zelfs nog iets verder dan dat! GRUTTO's WIJZEN DE WEG!

@simongerman600 Absolutely! And all this space above the high seas is criss-crossed by migrating landbirds! See our #openaccess publication in Ornithology @AmOrnith, where we review behavioral & physiological capacities of shorebirds to explain trans-Pacific #migration.

Turns out that #dispersal distance of 9000 km, from NL to India, is false. This week #avocet 'White AE' was seen at birthplace Wommels with 3 chicks. Can an observation in India in early March be reconciled with mating in Friesland in early May? Unlikely. https://t.co/vzMtGBsDvm https://t.co/SR03k4kXWt https://t.co/p146SePKeu

Playing with https://t.co/baocug4ZOp one can easily map out #migration of, in this case, two @provfryslan-breeding black-tailed #godwits. WOLVETINTE makes a loop migration, using Tagus estuary during northward but not southward #flight. WARKUMERMAR retraces #flyway track. #grutto https://t.co/c0r3zq1s5O https://t.co/Wl9bS2Uy3D

@vogelnieuws Nog een voorbeeld.
Waarom broeden er niet meer #lepelaars in het Waddengebied? Heeft dat met gebrek aan kleine vis te maken? https://t.co/j6DVMJHBWL

VOGELS BESCHERMEN IS ZÓ VEEL MEER DAN VOGELS TELLEN. Tellingen vertellen niet over oorzaak & gevolg.

@vogelnieuws Om er achter te komen waarom een vogelpopulatie achteruit gaat, of vooruit, dan heb je naast tellingen voortgaand ecologisch onderzoek nodig.
Bijvoorbeeld: waarom gaan rosse grutto's niet sneller achteruit dan ze doen? Hier komt al die kennis bij elkaar: https://t.co/0Qki5tB5Ui

The 5 remaining bar-tailed #godwits tagged in #Bijagós, Guinea-Bissau a few winters ago, have settled for breeding on #tundra south of Taymyr. We meanwhile lost contact with Terschelling birds for the simple reason that they moved out of telephone reach. https://t.co/1PU2SPD0Z9 https://t.co/UVxZi3jIbI https://t.co/z4leWyClXu

Voor een 'nieuw' en zeer wenkend perspectief in de #melkveehouderij: luister eens goed naar #grutto's! Niet voor niks de nationale vogel van Nederland.

GRUTTO'S WIJZEN DE WEG!

REFUELLING STATIONS ON THE GROUND!
During southward #migration of black-tailed #godwits the Atlantic French coast between Loire & Gironde counts as important stopping area, as so does Donana region, the beleaguered delta of Guadalquivir in Spain. See also: https://t.co/mKVrFJXOGH https://t.co/Zmlm4H5W2C https://t.co/Wl9bS2Uy3D

HIGHWAY IN THE SKY!
The national bird of Netherlands, #grutto's, black-tailed #godwits, now live #migration flights, #fuelling at stopovers, along #flyway towards W-Africa. Glimpses of this spectacular, invisible, phenomenon can be experienced by watching: https://t.co/baocug4ZOp https://t.co/1EqFAq3Q1M https://t.co/lSCNQP4RWW

Want to read more on how shorebirds manage heat load (#solar #radiation) by opening their 'windows' - raising their back-feathers? See this paper on great #knots in @EMUJournal studied in Roebuck Bay, #Broome, Australia.
