Eurasian Spoonbills

Our research program on Spoonbills combines long-term demographic with life-time tracking of young and adults from the breeding colonies in The Netherlands in collaboration with the Dutch Spoonbill working group (Werkgroep Lepelaar) and Willem Bouten from the University of Amsterdam – UvA Bird Tracking System. Our latest GPS trackers even send SMS messages, which is a tremendous help to locate birds that are beyond the reach of the antenna network.
