Migration is a go! Yday 3 @globalflyway.bsky.social GPS-Spoonbills flew from 🇳🇱 to 🇫🇷. Among them were adults MIGUEL (orange) and STERN (purple) who met each other in flight at noon, and then flew together for 9h until they split up again south of Le Havre.

Current position of all Dutch GPS-tracked Spoonbills alive today. Last weeks tracks of Miguel and Stern, including their first migratory flight on Sept 5th. Both birds flew roughly 24h non-stop and flew together for 9h from the Dutch-Belgian border till Le Havre (France). Miguel and Stern met each other IN FLIGHT around noon on Sept 5th. Miguel and Stern split up again after 9h of joint flight, each continuing flight for another 5-9h to different stop-overs along France's Atlantic coastline.

Very proud of @meixu-cm.bsky.social who just released a pre-print of her MSc research, showing how Eleonora's falcons negotiate prevailing winds and use islands to cross the Indian Ocean. A neat collaboration with Laura Gangoso et al from @ebdonana.bsky.social. #ornithology
