Bearded vulture! At last!
We are extremely proud to inform that this year it was finally possible to fit with our logger a Bearded vulture Gypaetus barbatus. It all took place in Armenia within a scientific project conducted by the NABU Armenia team. This very small (as the picture shows) lifeform successfully left the nest and is soaring over mountain tops of Armenia, Iran and Iraq.
His migration can be followed on the map on the home page of our portal. This year we also included data from Egyptian vultures Neophron percnopterus.
Results of GSE telemetry research published
The results of long-year studies on the European population of the Greater Spotted Eagles Aquila clanga were recently published. This time the aim was to reseach the migration strategies. Aquila dataloggers were used within the studies.
The publication can be viewed here.
News from our loggers - spring 2020
Spring has come. Time for update information from the field on how our dataloggers are performing.
