Calzada recuperada Aves localizadas Imágenes

 

 

The radio tracking group of the Cigüeña Negra ornithological collective has four principle objectives:

 ·        Search and localize migrating birds during their passage through the area of the Strait of Gibraltar, in collaboration with different European radio tracking programmes

 ·        Search and localize the cranes marked in different European countries, while they are wintering in the provinces of Cadiz, Cordoba, Caceres and Badajoz (the “Grus 2007-2012” Project)

·        Verify by means of radio tracking and control at the Strait of Gibraltar the recuperation of migrating birds proceeding from recovery centres and animal hospitals. 

·        Create a European “Bank of Radio Frequencies” (BEF) with the intent to avoid duplication of frequencies in different bird species, something that happens often. One bank where each European association that is marking birds with radio tracking devices can consult the free frequencies and use these.

 Currently the team disposes of two scanners of the latest generation, one mobile IC-R20 and one fixed IC-PCR1500 connected to a computer and permanently installed at the Ornithological centre in Tarifa. With these scanners we are able to localize birds carrying transmitters that pass through the Strait of Gibraltar during their migration or while they are wintering in the area.

 Therefore all researchers and organisations that are radio-marking birds in Europe are asked to pass us the frequencies they are using, species (scientific name), country, date of marking and importantly the approximate duration of the transmitter.

 With a little bit of good will and the participation of interested researchers we can generate really important information for the conservation of these species.

 Best wishes, get inspired and many thanks
