SAMIUL & ANIS are 2 recently tagged black-tailed #godwits in Bangladesh, that may be too young to start northward #migration to breed, but instead explored wetlands far west in Kolkata region in India. Both returned to Meghna #wetlands in Bangladesh. See globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project…

NEWS! Bar-tailed #godwit KINNUM, tagged during 2022 northward staging on #Terschelling, winters @PNBancarguin, now made early return from #tundra breeding grounds to #WaddenSea. The @HQXSCN tag managed to collect a nice informative #track on this individual #flyway. #WAAKVOGELS






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/l…



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.
