I have just arrived at @FundacionMigres in Tarifa, S Spain, for 6 weeks of @Vogelwarte_scie #insectmigration fieldwork as part of @Birgen_Haest's Move in Europe project! We have radars to monitor insects (!!) each side of the Straits of Gibraltar (1 in Ceuta, 1 in Tarifa) as well as insect traps in Tarifa, Gibraltar, and Ceuta to find out the types of insects migrating. Here is the radar in Ceuta looking towards one of the Pillars of Hercules, the Rock of Gibraltar. I'll be sharing loads here of the adventures I'm having. So excited!!

Need to analyze animal tracking data in R? Just out, our (@AnneKScharf & @safilabmpi ) paper in @MethodsEcolEvol describing the R package move2 (bartk.gitlab.io/move2/) for analyzing movement data, including reading data directly from @MovebankTeam. doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Kijk eens aan! Wekenlang niets dan regen op de radar, maar op dagen als deze zien we iets heel anders: insecten! Met dit weer zijn er overdag zoveel dat ze een signaal geven op de beelden. Hier ongefilterde beelden van radar Herwijnen (KNMI) vanaf 6u vanochtend 26/06. #InsectWeek

Our insect migration monitoring radar in Tarifa, Spain, has its own insect guards. Some fierce paper wasps protecting our research! @Birgen_Haest @FundacionMigres @Vogelwarte_scie

Yesterday @Birgen_Haest, Alejandro Onrubia, José Luis Ruiz and I placed an insect monitoring radar in Ceuta on the African side of the Straits of Gibraltar! This will help us reveal whether insects are migrating between the continents! Muchas gracias to @obimasa, @ieceuties and the local tortoises for their help. This will join the @HiRAD_Europe network of radars monitoring aerial life.
