This website summarizes the work of researchers that are affiliated with the research groups of Theunis Piersma at the University of Groningen and the Royal NIOZ Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, and our many collaborators.

This map uses tracks of one bird in each flyway to take you along to where our projects on "tracking and tracing shorebirds" are hosted. Each flyway has a dedicate page where you will find more tracks and specific links [...] more

It is very exciting for @GlobalFlyway to be enabled to share, real time, forthcoming tracks of 3 more Nordmann's Greenshanks tagged in Thailand by @TringaShank! These three (zoom in at https://t.co/h0yuMmdZNa) add to story of SIU CHING, tagged in HongKong last year, now in India. https://t.co/Jo1foWhFxB

#MIGRATION IN FULL SWING
Most black-tailed #godwits have left West-Africa, many have made it to breeding areas, but many are still in transit. See: https://t.co/baocug4ZOp

#grutto-trek in volle gang! West-Afrika is 'leeg', broedgebieden stromen 'vol', maar meeste zijn onderweg. https://t.co/QqbfDzE0gB

Met de zuidwestenwind stromen de #grutto's binnen! Het grote plaatje aan de hand van gezenderde vogels is te zien op https://t.co/baocug5xDX

Local reports of black-tailed #godwits arriving in Netherlands are backed up by #migration of tagged individuals: https://t.co/baocug5xDX https://t.co/BiUcQYMbKF https://t.co/RznCHyCVDs

@vogelnieuws Met op de foto een in Nederland al weer 20 jaar vrijwel uitgestorven vogelfenomeen van wereldkaliber: kempHANEN op een baltsplaats. Kemphanen zijn notoire stikstofrijke grasland vermijders...

In this little documentary, @KeningGreide presents a dawn during which the soils spoke through voices of two farmers & a didgeridoo dance. Experimenting a 'language of soils' from a Dutch-Frisian perspective.

With a wink to @projectgodwit, the first satellite-tagged black-tailed #godwit visible at https://t.co/baocug4ZOp to reach The Netherlands in 2023, after a migration from the beleaguered Tagus estuary in Portugal, was a #grutto hand-raised by @univgroningen Team #Skries in 2016. https://t.co/DzBlxzrYT7 https://t.co/SsVW2ohG9l

Great!
This life-history was possible because of the thousands of dedicated adminstrative hours by volunteers of @WGLepelaar and their strong will to keep up a constant ringing effort in Netherlands by , whether with @Metawad (2011-2016) or without (2016-2022) financial support. https://t.co/ndaRbn4JIb

Two summers ago, black-tailed #godwit NORGSLEAT left #Friesland early after an unsuccessful breeding season. Now, NORGSLEAT is ahead of many other #grutto's, with a nonstop flight from Tagus to Vendée right across the Bay of Biscay!

Overal ter wereld hetzelfde liedje: internationale handel verdient de centen over de ruggen van lokale vissers en hun ecosysteem. Helaas ook in zustergebied van #Waddenzee in Mauritanië. Nu grondig gedocumenteerd inproefschrift @univgroningen of Dr Lemrabott. Vandaag in @trouw https://t.co/3i3wOTsEdC

Would this not depend on the functionality of the soil, in the first place?

For some introductory evidence how this may work, & on role of #earthworms, see: https://t.co/VpaATK5okK

Natter, jazeker. Maar koeien passen er prima in. Al zal het in wat lagere dichtheden zijn dan waar we nu aan 'gewend' zijn! https://t.co/x6B61lhqQY
