@Ina01465079 @thijskuiken @univgroningen Er vliegen al weer 10jaar, elk seizoen, 10tallen gezenderde Nederlandse grutto's over Frankrijk en tijdens die 100en overtochten is er mógelijk 1 x een grutto geschoten. Dat grutto's achteruit gaan ligt niet aan hun sterfte (die is al lang constant) maar aan de aanwas (kuikens).

Just as #whimbrel SOGA, on its way to breeding grounds in Iceland, makes a stop in Sado estuary, Portugal, ESCADINHAS, also having wintered in #Bijagós, Guinea-Bissau, is in #migration along the Sahara coast. Go birds, go!
And witnessable for everybody at: https://t.co/1PU2SPD0Z9 https://t.co/DGMRBpr7hc https://t.co/SaDCF3H9jq

Fantastische waarnemingen @PHMulder1. Die #goudplevieren zetten een uitroepteken bij jullie akkerbouwbedrijf!
Dit kan WEGTREK zijn, maar ook SCHEMERBALLET, dat we op dit filmpje lieten zien: https://t.co/nxOqPFYQrm

AS WE SPEAK, #arctic-breeding #shorebirds are busily fuelling-up for impending long-distance #migration #flights; this happens also at @PNBancarguin! Importantly, AS WE SPEAK, the PNBA-NIOZ benthos team is measuring #benthos resource base for #fuelling shorebirds! Today was Nair! https://t.co/6HQHjX2w7n

Here is a good story on Anglo-Friesian connections.
Black-tailed #godwit #grutto E1X was born in It Heidenskip last summer & then seen in July by Mike Marsh across the North Sea on Havergate Island. Quite exceptionally, E1X already returned to where it was born less a year ago! https://t.co/Pw6hXbVFf3 https://t.co/omicL8Cc7T

BREAKING NEWS Black-tailed #godwit #grutto ANNE made a large migration across #Himalayas and has about crossed the #Gobi Desert! ANNE belongs to the limosa subspecies, and has wintered in the #wetlands of #Bangladesh. More news at https://t.co/XyIXUEwqzO

It wasn't Perdeck himself who concluded that his starling displacement experiments showed evidence of inheritance, innateness, of @migration routes. That came later. A review of studies citing Perdeck 1958 leaves many alternative interpretations open.

@Ben_Sheldon_EGI @JenGill3 Never (but the larger #godwit community may)! Developmental biology can yield amazing surprises! In any case: an amazing and puzzling sight.

The spirits of migrating #spoonbills are now shared with every visitor to centre of #CHICLANA, south of #Cádiz, Spain! Yesterday, display was inaugurated by the mayor of city & other guests, with speech of @PacoHortas. Yet another amazing achievement of https://t.co/4oUJh15eUt!!! https://t.co/Swcf5bAtyY

of a young man and a young knot!

Er zijn er nog wel een paar onderweg, maar de meeste #grutto's hebben de broedgebieden in Nederland & Duitsland inmiddels wel bereikt. https://t.co/6wfrPQj0d1
A few are still in #migration, but most Dutch & German black-tailed #godwits seem to have made it home. #skries #meadow https://t.co/CkNfP5ylVf

BREAKING NEWS
Due to valiant efforts by @DelipDasBisharg and his stalwart team, new black-tailed #godwits have been tagged in the #wetlands of #Balngadesh! What is more, everybody can now follow their movements & impending #migration to breeding grounds at https://t.co/h0yuMmdZNa https://t.co/3Rut4Ypdi3

This is exactly how we hoped https://t.co/9UuQiw8qRw would work: enthusiasts like Ellen Hoy using website resource developed & curated by @GlobalFlyway to follow & talk about #migration of #shorebirds. Continued lack of serious interest from e.g. @BirdLife_News keeps amazing us! https://t.co/eNFvsCDJtl https://t.co/RJR8J4wtal

Eurasian #Curlew C KWAN, tagged by @wwfhk in #HongKong, is on the move across the #YellowSea after #flight across the Korean Peninsula. More HK-tagged #shorebirds visible https://t.co/h0yuMmdZNa, to keep you informed & amazed about what #migration can show and connect. #Numenius https://t.co/ojl2ANaxAR https://t.co/OnfpMZFzqc

Just saying!
This morning, #spoonbill ARTEMIS was found right in front of Urdaibai @BirdCenter_ , with presence noted on night cameras too. He migrated here during #flight with 2 stops right across Spain, arriving yesterday evening. A #lepelaar born on #Schiermonnikoog in 2007. https://t.co/gdMbtWlFnE https://t.co/M6ISIrIdkZ

@estuaryviews @ShireJewels One of the goals of @GlobalFlyway is the early dissemination and interpretation of the tracking possible today, demonstrating that the world is one. It is open to any shorebird tracking, so call on @BattleyPhil and @miranda_trust to make their new efforts available? @Statuur

Beautiful to see the tagged black-tailed #godwits -breeding in Netherlands & Germany moving in from the south: https://t.co/baocug4ZOp
Tagus area is almost 'empty', but there are still birds in Donana.

Bar-tailed #godwit 4BBRW is off! He is sharing his 4th annual commute between Pukorokoro-Miranda in New-Zealand, via Yellow Sea and #Alaska #tundra, an amazing series of #migration adventures! Follow him at https://t.co/h0yuMmdZNa & think about what it means to do what he does! https://t.co/JVm0fC3prS https://t.co/gzvLkAUrPn

Bar-tailed #godwit BAAIDUINEN left Terschelling relatively late in spring 2022, flew a more northern route, and migrated more slowly, than her #flock-mates on #Terschelling and ended life (probably high in the air) in the claws of a #peregrine when approaching coast of Sweden. https://t.co/4oPolwU6s9 https://t.co/4XS66ZSknf

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!

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