LOTS!

One Whimbrel made all of these journeys.
The 'Global Wader' project is encouraging scientists to archive this sort of information, so that it is available for future analyses.

Now that I’ve finally rested, I want to thank all the observers, technicians, volunteers, colleagues, supervisors, friends, and family, who made this thesis possible. The best part of the defense was feeling all the love and support. Obrigado, see you in the next challenge! :D
