Super excited to have deployed the first new GPS-Acc @pathtrackltd loggers. Finally a busy night. Had great help of MSc Jitse to tag four recaptures and two new females! #nightjar #ornithology

How do you follow breeding outcomes in shy, cryptic species? Quantum theory of ecology (can’t see them without affecting behaviour) in breeding #Curlew can be circumvented with careful use of good quality GPS tag data (hint: lots of regular locations!) thanks @pathtrackltd !
Really excited to see our article on identifying Curlew breeding status from GPS tracks in @Ecol_Evol! Many thanks to all our co-authors who've helped get this published. The work was funded by @NatResWales following @RSPBScience funding pilot tags. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9509

Wow 😮
From the Tagus to Taymyr!
Massive journey from this grey plover tagged with GPS @pathtrackltd
Migration baby!

Did you know that some birds wintereing in the Tagus Estuary come from Asia?
The map below depicts the annual movements of a Grey Plover, tracked remotely with a GPS/UHF device.

Soon we will be starting a trip to Senegal to the lesser kestrel winter quarters. Do you want to come with us? @SUMHAL_CSIC @ebdonana @lifefalkon @SEO_BirdLife @miche_morganti @cnr_irsa @CNRDTA @CNRsocial_ @La_Statale @ISPRA_Press @ornitologiki

Grey rocket plover! One of the 20 birds tagged last night with @pathtrackltd and @HQXSCN gps devices. Curious to see how these #waders explore #Tagus estuary in the next months. Ready for the next round!

Been mist-netting waders #Tagus estuary for the past couple of nights to deploy GPS tags on Redshank, Grey-p & Btgodwit. @JoaoRBelo1 will keep us updated on future findings!

Where do #whimbrel breeding in the Northwest fjords of Iceland spend the rest of the year?
Map below shows the movement of 3 individuals between 2021 & 2022. Routes are very similar to those breeding in the South (see our profile header image).

Winter is coming... And so do our waders!
We already have everything ready for them:
- Tags from @pathtrackltd ✅
- Antennas are set in some of the most important roosts in Tagus✅
- Motivation 💪✅
Only missing the coolest part -> Capture Waders
Stay tuned!

The first GPS track of a Storm-petrel from the Faroe Islands - super exciting to have finally managed this after a lot of hard work from all involved!!! A south-east foraging foray towards Shetland over 2 days, reaching 160km at its furthest point. #biologging #seabirdresearch

And that’s a wrap to #corkseabirds Thanks to all who shared their exciting research with us over that past few days. @TheSeabirdGroup @GreenCampusUCC @uccBEES

@ZeeuwsLand & @SLZeeland are working together with enthusiastic farmers to restore farmland nature in the #Patridgeproject. To study habitat use of breeding sky larks here, we have now tagged these birds for the first time @pathtrackltd!

Very pleased to catch this bird! We put on her logger 3 yrs ago, but she has managed to avoid being caught. The battery died 2 yrs ago, but still lots of valuable data on Tawny owl winter movements on the logger #Ornithology @hydrobates1 @Biology_LU @pathtrackltd

We used miniaturised archival GPS loggers (@pathtrackltd) to track the annual migration of 24 individual nightjars from their breeding grounds in UK 🇬🇧 and Belgium 🇧🇪 to wintering areas in D.R.Congo 🇨🇩 and Angola 🇦🇴 2/8

Waiting for the birds to fly to roost - @pathtrackltd collar on @ECHOESproj Greenland White-fronted in Co. Donegal. Favourable migration weather to 🇮🇸

A very exciting package arrived this morning! GPS tags from @pathtrackltd to investigate breeding redshank site selection and fine scale habitat requirements. Massive thank you to @HOSbirding for the research grant to make this possible.

Brilliant start to our #DPLUS139 tracking project - the #Falklands has THE most stunning #seabird islands. Prions, penguins and albatross successfully tracked to support proposed #MMAs with awesome @pathtrackltd tags @FalklandsGov @SAERI_FI @JNCC_UK @Darwin_Defra @RachaelOrben

Toys, toys, toys! Can’t wait to get these @pathtrackltd tags deployed and get some new insights into seabird foraging.

Maybe you know that Med storm petrels (28g) can travel up to 1113 km to reach foraging areas during breeding. But I guess you don't know how they select such areas.
