You are already 1,820 volunteers who have joined the Where is Spoony? [1] program. You have allowed us to reach 47% of the project thanks to 109,138 classifications made, a big thank you!
For those of you who haven’t tried it yet, you can find all the information in our previous news [2] or on the dedicated website [1].
By going on this site, you can help us to identify the Eurasian spoonbills (Platalea leurocodia) on photos by reading the rings. We will then be able to understand how these birds cope with the long migration routes they undertake each year.
In the meantime, here is the latest news from the colony:
- 170 spoonbills have been ringed;
- 86 individuals have been measured;
- 5 spoonbills have been equipped with GPS tags;
- 30 birds can be compared to those of a colony in Portugal (physical condition, breeding and hatching success…).
