Black-tailegd #godwit OVERVEEN, tagged by @VeenVitaal, gave away marvels of #migration during #flight from SW Netherlands to Senegal delta. @RoelandBom's quick analysis shows brief stops in Oléron & Donana and daytime climbs to #altitudes of 4-6 km, flying v high across #Sahara!

Last week 10 black-tailed godwits were equipped with GPS trackers as part of @Veenvitaal, a unique interdisciplinary #NWA project led by @ALIFE_VU professor Matty Berg. Make peat meadows futureproof and protect biodiversity! @NWONieuws @VUamsterdam vu.nl/en/news/2023/learning-…

It is fewer than 2 weeks to PhD thesis defence of @DrewBingrun at @univgroningen. The defence can be followed online, his thesis accessed online too. Black-tailed #godwits have yielded a few more of their many secrets through his biometric, genetic, tracking & ecological work.

Yancheng's coastal wetlands cover 291,300 hectares, housing two national nature reserves: Yancheng Rare Birds & Dafeng Milu. Red-crowned crane, globally endangered, finds refuge here. Also, 70% of milu deer, once near extinction.

Ontvangst in de Dollard van Chinese delegatie uit Yancheng die bezoek brengt aan Werelderfgoed Waddenzee. Deze stad (7 mln inwoners) ligt aan de Gele Zee, eveneens Werelderfgoed en cruciaal voor de oostelijke flyway van trekvogels. Erg belangrijk deze internationale uitwisseling!

The southward #migration season of black-tailed #godwits, #grutto, #Uferschnepfe, #skries has started in earnest. If you are not looking at postbreeding flocks in mown fields (reading colour-rings) you can watch progress towards WAfrica from your armchair: globalflywaynetwork.org/trac…

Surely, @ADBEnvironment thinks about ways to EMPOWER the (mostly YOUNG) scientific talents along @EAAFP? Their hard-won data enable real #flyway cartoons! Migratory #shorebirds could be the sentinels of the flyway system! DM us at @GlobalFlyway Example: research.rug.nl/en/publicati…

This is spectacular footage of over 100,000 #shorebirds/#waders at a place along China coastline that does well. DM @Globalflyway for release of location: to organizations prepared to help fund this necessary survey work. @WaderStudy @EAAFP @BirdLife_Sci @ADB_HQ @BirdLife_CEO

The 9th survey, in 2 months, team of Hebo Peng @GlobalFlyway visited 40 sites, sampling macrobenthos, Spartina, eDNA, pollutants & foraging shorebirds. More than 50% of sites show clear downward trends from 2015, only 20% show upward trends. Shorebirds remain under pressure!

I hope the Australian Shorebird Conference went well this weekend. Here's a #WaderTales blog that may be of interest to attendees: wadertales.wordpress.com/202… I hope that there will be new papers from the @EAAFP to write about in 2023. #shorebirds #waders

What could be more exciting than to see our GPS/GSM tracker on #NationalGeographic?! This type (HQBG1206) has only about 6 grams and works perfectly on Rosse #Grutto (in dutch), also known as the famous bar-tailed godwit. @NatGeoNL @RoelandBom @GlobalFlyway #avianmigration
