To procrastinate on other work stuff, I figured out how to animate telemetry data in R.
Here's a day-by-day look at how a few mottled ducks spent their year.
. @Movetech_GPS tags have given a new insight into Goshawk movements over the past three years. This road trip by the female Goshawk only took 3 weeks and she ended up back where she started from! #ornithology#AnimalMovement
Just seen the amazing track (yellow) of a female Goshawk in my copy of @_BTO News, she circumnavigated East Anglia venturing into Lincs and Essex where this species is rarely documented.
164 captive-bred blackbirds will soon decide where to spend the Northern winter: Lake Constance? France? Spain? Are the Russian-heritage blackbirds going first? Or the French-ies? Follow them live with #ICARUSintiative tags on the animal tracker app.
Very excited to announce an amazing set of speakers for #BOU2019! Thanks to the #birdtracking community for providing lots of beautiful abstracts to choose from 😍

Another remarkable journey from a young Scottish Osprey - non stop UK to Morocco, flying over Brittany without stopping. A massive contrast between where it last roosted in England & it next set foot on the ground on coastal cliffs in Morocco! #ornithology#AnimalTracker#Ospreys
We're working with @ForestryCommEng to explore the feasibility of restoring the White-tailed Eagle to the South Coast of England through a reintroduction project based on the Isle of Wight.

A new one for us! GPS Tags specially designed for Gharials in Nepal to help with the conservation of this Critically Endangered crocodilian. Dropped off for delivery at the courier & asked them to make it snappy... #AnimalTracker#Gharials
Long & unusual migration by a juv Scottish Osprey. It left Brittany on 25/9 at 15:40 & flew non-stop for 2,522 km averaging 53 kph/33 mph, taking 1d 23h 30m to reach Africa. Strong easterlies in the Bay of Biscay pushed it offshore, but it recovered in the end! #ornithology
The Great British Game industry relies on the illegal killing of birds of prey. Like this young golden eagle, found poisoned on a Scottish grouse moor. Just one of many. #GBgameweek
