Our new project - WaderTrack - has started!
3 sleepless nights in the Tagus estuary and the first batch of #waders has been tagged!
By the end of the wintering period we shall know much more about #shorebirds habitat use in this internationally important wetland

3 sleepless nights in the Tagus estuary and the first batch of #waders has been tagged!
By the end of the wintering period we shall know much more about #shorebirds habitat use in this internationally important wetland
#ornithology
For example, how far from the high tide roosting sites do #waders go for foraging in the mudflats at low tide?

And, does the habitat use differ between day and night-time foraging?
@pathtrackltd tags shall allow us to answer these questions soon.

First base station set.
This device will receive the data collected by the tags previously deployed on some #waders.

Base station number 2 is up.
During each high tide, with #waders coming to roost, data of their movements shall be transferred to the base station.

First batch of data is in!
Movements of two #redshank over 5 (red) and 8 (green) days, in the Tagus Estuary. Clear use of the Samouco saltpans and adjacent mudflats.

We got movement data of a few more #waders in the Tagus Estuary!
The picture shows the movements of a redshank, a grey plover and a black-tailed godwit.
Can you tell which is which?

3 more nights of mist-netting #waders in the Tagus Estuary and a few more tags deployed!
Moving towards a better understanding of how these birds use this internationally important wetland.

Where have these #waders been on the 25th and 26th of October?
Well, in several places along the Tagus Estuary.

#waders don't stop!
(well, expect for roosting at high tide...)
Here's a map with the movements gathered so far.
