News from our loggers - spring 2020
Spring has come. Time for update information from the field on how our dataloggers are performing.
Rescued Golden Eagle occupies nest after 9 years
Today a story of the kind of fairy tale, or maybe a "happy end horror". For many years Czech Republic has implemented a reintroduction program for the Golden Eagle. In 2011 a young female was released within the project. Unfortunatelly she could enjoy the freedom for a coupleof years only. And again the reason was a hunter.
Aquila loggers' wintering aggregation
Last November saw a good example of how Aquila loggers contribute to science - thanks to data from the devices researchers discovered new wintering grounds in Saudi Arabia with large concentrations of Steppe Eagles, a globally endangered species. Further monitoring confirmed the presence of 6700 Steppe Eagles in two places only. That could equate to about 10% of the world population of the species. In addition birds of prey of other species were also recorded in the area.
New maps on our portal
From now on when using our portal it is possible to visualize data by means of additional 2 new terrain maps. This new feature will surely enrich the current functions and make the usage more attractive. Enjoy!
