Satellite tracking of geese online. How do geese fly? Satellite data

March 30, 2010 | Migration maps of the migratory goose

Last year, we already offered our readers an on-line migratory goose migration tracking service. If someone is not yet familiar with our materials, and has become our reader this year, we will briefly recall the main things last year, and then post the goose span data for this year. So, the attention of all the goslings is offered.

We decided to give our readers the opportunity to learn how to track the migration of migratory goose waves without leaving the computer. Today we will teach you how to track your favorite hunting object directly from the monitor screen around the world. With our help, you can track the flight of geese according to the data of two geopositioning control systems at once.

If you click, for example, on the picture below, you will see a standard example of the migration route of a bean goose named Adri. In autumn he flies through Tulsk wow region, and in the spring - through Tver region. But this does not mean at all that other waves of the migratory goose do not exist. There are quite a lot of them, so we will give you a whole mechanism for tracking the waves of migration of geese.

One request - so that this can work for future generations - do not shoot marked birds. Orange collars in the spring waves of migration of geese are German, yellow are Japanese and Italian. Please let us know about any collars you see.

In real time, the flight map of a particular goose looks like this:

The use of satellite transmitters opens up new prospects for a detailed study of geese migrations, because until recently our knowledge of the flight paths of birds and their stopping places during long-distance migration from wintering areas to nesting areas in the Arctic was far from complete.

Small "backpacks" with satellite transmitters draw intricate lines on maps that can be viewed online. It turned out that geese traveled from wintering places to nesting places in different ways, sometimes quite unexpected for researchers. The transmitters are still in operation, transmitting daily data on the location of the geese. This data is constantly plotted on maps that can be viewed on the sites in our review, published in the section.

However, goose tracking is far from the only item in the modern hunter's long line of skills. Within a month in the newsfeed you will be able to find a series of articles about goose hunting and monographs about goose hunting.

Modern technologies make it possible to monitor the migration of geese in real mode time. Bird tracking using GPS navigation has been produced by many organizations around the world for several years.

most complete and successful project tracks the migration of a goose that... winters in Western Europeblessgans.de. This German site provides its visitors with the opportunity to follow the migration of the goose through the traditional Google Earth service.

The flight of our goose, wintering in Egypt, can be tracked on this site, some specimens have already set off last year and were refreshed in Turkey (as of March 16, 2009).

However, we will teach you how to accurately track a goose to select a place and time of hunting with the help of the most advanced Google Earth service in the world. Of course, this service is not intended for hunters at all, but, on the contrary, for scientists and defenders. wildlife. But access is not closed to anyone, and therefore we will simply give you the opportunity not to waste your money and time in vain.

So. First you need to install on your computer or free version google Earth, which can be downloaded from the page Google :http://earth.google.com/intl/en/

I can’t get into the Arctic, my wife allows me to drink at home))))


There are different cases. Here is my report for the 16th year:
Part one.
I wanted to go to Amderma before the New Year. There was something attractive for me in the name itself - Am-der-ma... It sounded enticing and inviting. Of course, I wanted to see the whole sky in parrots and the sun at night, deer and Nenets and, of course, exchange a bottle of fire water for a fox skin from local A, I also wanted deer and goose, cloudberries and dwarf birches Well, you understand the whole standard set stamps sitting in my head
We phoned Andrey, saw each other - and I realized that my fate is in strong hands. I want to say that the organization of my adventure was a success for Andrey and Vitaly, I won’t say anything bad except thank you. Everything is clear, everything is to the point and, what is important for me, friendly. Then there was a leisurely, but not protracted process of obtaining permission to travel to the border zone, purchasing tickets with a notification about the transport of weapons, fees and pre-launch excitement. My personal excitement was expressed in the fact that my bag weighed 40.3 kg at the start. Weapons separately, I didn’t carry cartridges. Upon arrival at Vnukovo, I was checked by the police at the entrance (“Oh, what kind of tubes do you have? - Yes, this is a weapon - Yes? Well, show permission”), treated kindly at the UTair registration desk (“ And let the weapon be the first piece of luggage and fly for free, and for the overweight of the bag you have to pay extra 6 tyr? - Let's go!") and sent to the SAB room to hand over the weapon. There, everyone quite calmly began to write an act on the surrender of my weapons, specifying that I was carrying only a dozen bullet cartridges, and I didn’t carry shotgun shells at all, when they suddenly saw hunting signals (well, such threaded cartridges in the colors of a traffic light for a rocket launcher handle). God, what started here... They refused to transport them, I demanded to refer to the rule of law, 6 people rushed to look for her, exclaiming from time to time: "Yes, I know for sure that it is impossible!" After some time, they solemnly brought me an appendix to the order of the Ministry of Transport (in my opinion 104) and said that they were firm in faith and now they would definitely not be lucky. I realized that in this dispute I want to be happy more than right, I asked in which urn I can throw them out. I was told that in this case I would be removed from the flight and there was a distinct smell of terrorism in the air. I asked about the use of local idiomatic expressions - but what to do with them, since such a thing? The senior put his arm around my shoulders, lowered his voice and offered to put these signals into the pocket of my carry-on backpack and, having made the sign of the cross, go to flight control. The mute question was clearly read on my brow, but the elder reassured me, saying that either I would bring them in and the case was in the hat, or they would be confiscated from me and simply kept until my return without any sanctions. As he said, so it happened. At the control, they were confiscated from me, packed in a bag and handed me a copy of the act. Overgrown with papers, like a dog with fleas, I got to the plane. I won’t describe a trip to a bar at the airport, because everyone already imagines how it usually happens, but there was nothing unusual there.
Upon arrival in Naryan-Mar, I was met by the dearest Yuri, who loaded me into an all-terrain vehicle of a prestigious brand, and introduced me to another member of our hunting team, Anton, and drove us to hotels, and on the way he had an excellent tour of Naryan-Mar. It turned out that Naryan-Mar, Yoshkar-Ola and Ulan-Ude are one and the same - translated into Russian from local languages ​​​​- the Red City.
The Pechora Hotel did not look to me, five for the room (I'm talking about the price per night), and there is no Wi-Fi in the room. The size of the Tele made me want to buy a lens. Everything turned out to be much more interesting with Antokha in Natalie (except, perhaps, the stairs - it was painfully cool for a traveler with a bag of forty kilos).
In the evening we went to the local main tavern, proudly called the Timan Museum Restaurant. Very nice, in the local traditions, with a claim to status (camouflage is not allowed). The menu is quite at the level of Moscow prices, there is venison in all sections of the menu, with the possible exception of the bar card. The institution does not shine with fish, but meat people will like everything. Dinner for two with beer and homemade cranberry tincture - 5 sput.
After dinner, we walked to the hotels located around the corner from each other and from the prosecutor's office of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Then I began to understand what a polar day is. It was invariably gray. And, yes, the weather was about 5 degrees Celsius, overcast, a little rain. Adrenaline rushed into my blood, I didn’t want to sleep, but I persuaded myself and fell asleep.
Part two will follow later.
Second day. I woke up early and immediately rushed to try on a set of American army uniform ECWCS bought by a specialist for a trip. I liked everything, I pulled together the harness and went to have breakfast (so, without frills, there is nothing to remember). By the appointed time, I went downstairs, where Yura was already waiting for me. Then we picked up Anton and went to the airport. There it turned out that, according to the rules of Nord-Avia, I had to pay for the overweight (the same 6 sput), and I also had to unfasten 2 sput for the gun. Swearing did not lead to anything, but it became easier. We loaded into the AN-24, chose the places as God would put it on our souls and flew
Finally, what I wanted was stretching overboard - water, snow and tundra with traces of the GTS ... I felt so good and comfortable at that moment that I would have flown like this for at least two more hours. Finally, the plane released the landing gear, slightly jumped and, braking, ran to the airport building. When the plane stopped, I saw the tires on its undercarriage. Nostalgia for my Zhiguli in 1996 came over me - I have not seen such bald rubber since then (yes, it was not slick, but bald, like my knee in kindergarten). We unloaded and to the cheers of "Do not take pictures!" went inside the building. There, for the first time, we saw all the members of our hunting brigade - two wonderful guys from Yaroslavl (I also consider Palych to the guys, despite his respected age), Valera and Artem, and they are relatives, and Artem is Valeryevich and Antokha and I. Vitaly (Yakut) was waiting for us there. From the inside, the airport building is beautifully decorated with Arktiktura banners and modern views plastic. We waited a long time for weapons, because they gave them away only after the plane that brought us left. As if we flew on it in order to capture it

We loaded into a cheerful jeep with Kostroma numbers, but without a rear window, and arrived at Vitaly's apartment. Andrey and the huntsman Misha were already waiting for us there, who fed us something tasty. After some short time, the all-terrain vehicle arrived and we started playing Tetris with the help of our shmurdyak, rope and Andrey on top, because, in my opinion, only he could pull our junk onto the roof of the all-terrain vehicle. We ourselves settled comfortably in the kung, opened the door and set off. This is where terabytes of information began to hit my eyes. My brain did not have time to process all the information, and after a while I simply stopped analyzing and began to enjoy this discreet beauty. Small flocks of geese could be seen here and there, the local dog merrily ran after us, still managing to poke along the road. Suddenly we got up - it turned out that the transmission had been knocked out and some kind of repair was required. And our beams were already visible below and a feeling of acute happiness rolled up to the throat. It is happiness, and not what could roll up after the AN-24 and the all-terrain vehicle
With God's help, we plunged and with some dashing dashed to the beams. The Yaroslavl guys unloaded into a small beam - for two, and we drove another 400 meters and arrived at the main, large beam. We were placed according to seniority, that is, whoever is thicker - on the lower racks, and whoever is able to climb onto the second tier - he climbed to realize his opportunity. Having stuffed his clothes and collecting weapons with shaking hands with lust, we rushed to the evening. Antokha and I went to the nearest hiding place - 100 meters from the beam. The profiles were already standing, the lake was splashing, the wind was blowing at a decent speed (albeit in the wrong direction) - complete order. We sat, eyes watering from responsibility and the wind, but no one flew to us.
An hour later, a "goose in reverse" fell victim to us - a bird with a tail resembling a goose neck, it seems that the goose flies with its tail forward, and an hour later five geese flew at us. We jumped up and fired 10 shots for two. The heel of the geese continued to fly, and we began to look around in search of the guilty ones. There was no one but us. "We have problems," summed up Antokha. After some time, not salty slurping, we returned to the beam, where it turned out that Valera and Artem were quite successful and opened the scoring with their trophies. We were waiting for dinner prepared by Vitaly, and a homemade drink prepared by my friend Misha Moiseev. Misha said that he was preparing a homemade casserole according to old Russian recipes, but peppercorns came out of the highest fieryness. Dinner fully met my expectations - goose stew with a side dish, bread, tea and sweets from the local Amderma store (I can only say about it that the sweet cherry was not the first freshness, it cost 680 rubles / kg, and a plastic bag - 20 rubles / piece) I, on the advice of the same Vitaly, brought onions and a carriage of Krakow sausage from Moscow. The sausage was removed until better times, and the onion was served cut into octopuses with coarse salt. Tasty...
After that, the body asked for mercy in the form of sleep. It didn’t get dark at all outside the window, but the warmth of the potbelly stove, a real mattress and a pillow, together with a sleeping bag, defeated me and I fell asleep
We woke up at the command of the huntsman Misha, a very interesting person, by the way, who has his own convictions and views on life. Even if you just look at how Misha equipped, his thoroughness and experience will become clear. Misha, the only one of all, wore knee pads and a false ass made in a special way, which he called "pendel". As a result, Misha did not hesitate to kneel if necessary and came out dry from these adventures.

We woke up at three o'clock. Well, do you understand that getting up for work at three o'clock is hell, and hunting is happiness? Until four, we washed ourselves, had a light breakfast, got together and looked forward to it in every possible way. Valera and Artem staked out a hiding place in the snow, so they warmed up thoroughly. Valera brought with him a suit for a snowmobile of extraordinary warmth, and it was clear that he was not sweating. Artyom had a wonderful gun - a Browning-725 vertical shotgun, made specifically for his left-handedness. So, for example, I left the gun on the street, and Artem, observing all the rules of safety, took it apart and, in my opinion, even slept with him. He also had a very original shoulder strap for a gun - at both ends there was a self-tightening loop, more there were no swivels on the Artem Browning. The size of the beam allowed only one pair of hunters to gather at the same time, so the second pair drank tea and envied, conducting visual phallometry with those gathering - we evaluated the equipment and weapons of our colleagues, comparing them with our bebekhs. According to the equipment, it turned out that the guys were experienced, experienced and would not fail to use their experience The icing on the cake was a bunch of calls, which Valera hung on himself like a shaman's necklace. The guys went to their hiding places and it was our time to pack up. I had two clothing options - a hunting suit that has been proven over the years and a set of the American military ECWCS gen III. I put on an American according to science, I even bought a hat at the time at the corner of Broadway and 54th Street, Antokha also quickly brought himself into a combat state and we advanced to yesterday's hiding place.
It must be said that the skradok in the understanding of the goose and the skradok in the local view are different things. The local skradok looked like a plank flooring with three walls and two stools overlooking the lake. Good Italian profiles in the amount of 12 pieces completed the picture. It should be noted that the wind blew in different variations on the theme of the northern direction, that is, the weather was non-flying ... And then it started to rain, smoothly turning into snow ... I think that's why I shot 50 rounds and didn't hit anyone)) Antokha went for a walk around the lake and returned with a couple of trophies, Artyom and Valera confidently dropped the bird, regular shots were heard from the distant beam, but the hunting god clearly did not notice me . Misha, who returned from a small beam during breakfast, said that Yaroslavl also had openwork, then he listened to our stories with Antokha and said that it was time for me to fish. bird. Our existence did not imply any alternative entertainment - having eaten, everyone fell asleep until three o'clock.

It turned out that this schedule of life (sleeping until three, eating, hunting until eight, eating, sleeping until three) enters your flesh already on the second day. You cease to understand - the day is now, is it night, what day of the week - everything is one. The polar day is the same all the time, the sun can come out at night, regularity and peace - these are the main definitions of this time.
The weather worsened, a strong north wind blew, reaching 15 m/sec. The snow was flying parallel to the ground, the stove in the beam seemed to be the center of the universe, and the tea in a thermos was the foundation of the universe.
I must say that our brigade was selected from among the non-drinkers, we drank 2-3 liters for everyone for the whole week. Of course, Misha Moiseev's homemade casserole took first place. It seems to me that, to be sure, he adds carbide to it and puffs it with pepper spray for self-defense. Personally, after this casserole I'm afraid to fart - it can burn through my panties.

However, I had to overcome myself, dress and go to the tundra. Fortunately, there is a place in the beam for drying clothes, so everything was ready for me to finally do what the huntsman Misha was waiting for from me. We moved into position just when it was a little quieter. How beautiful it was from edge to edge of the horizon! Everything, literally everything caused delight - and huge patches of snow near the hills, and lakes, in some places still in ice, and a huge radar on one of the hills ... Some kind of surrealistic picture, easily evoking thoughts that this is - and there is life, not cocktails on Friday and the gym on Wednesdays.
Word for word, but the goose did fly, as evidenced by the clapping of shots from the Vologda, then from the Yaroslavl guys. Antokha and I gnawed our hands to the elbow, because there was a goose, but we smeared it. And five-shot, I’ll tell you, it’s such a thing - it’s impossible to stop shooting, The cartridges burned like candles, illuminating the mismanagement of Antokha and me. But once again the geese flew at us, and then, either the wind died down, or the hunting god raised an eyelid in my side, but I jumped up as if from a trench on a German tank, pulled up the barrel of my Italian, and ...
Tilted, went in a circle,
Tumbling over the meadow, -
Don't delay - come on
Enter the earth with a corkscrew!
The shooter himself looks with fear:
What he did by chance.
High speed, military, black,
Modern, twin-engine -
Aircraft - steel tackle -
Crashed into the ground, howling,
Wanting to pierce the globe
And get to America.

This is how I felt at that moment! How did Tvardovsky know? The first goose fell with a rag, I didn’t even have to get it. How good and easy it became in my soul, how joyful. However, all hunters know this feeling, the rest I would also like to feel it, but, as they say, "we do not sell takeaway."
And then - off we go. It cannot be said that the geese eclipsed the sun, there was just a little sun, but regular raids of small flocks happened regularly - at least once an hour. The hunt was still laborious, we had to run after wounded animals, especially when they landed on the other side of the Peschanaya River. Here it was necessary to go to the beam, take a boat, swim across to the other side, search, get and all that. From time to time I worked as a spaniel for my comrades - Valera knocked down a couple of geese, and they landed closer to my hiding place. It’s good that I captured a couple of walkie-talkies from Moscow, and Valera guided me to the target using them. After getting the wounded animals, I returned to my hiding place. Oh, I forgot to tell the story of moving to this new hideout. He was farthest from the beam, on a bend in the river near a small lake, next to a large cistern of radical black. Against the background of the brown tundra, it looked defiant, since it was made of white doors from the women's toilet or locker room, well, there were letters Zh on them. lightheartedly agreed. It turned out that this move was not a pleasure trip with girls on a boat, but a harsh man's occupation. 12 profiles had to be rearranged. 12. And it turned out that for this it is necessary to pierce the frozen tundra 12 times with the help of a sledgehammer, a punch and some kind of abstract mother. But in the holes that have already turned out (well, well, holes), it is already possible to stick geese profiles in an artistic manner.

Antokha immediately adapted, hiding behind the cistern from the wind, to change into dry clothes, I adapted there to rest from the wind into my eyes and in general
Nearby, about 50 meters away, there was a twin hiding place, into which Antokha sometimes went when I bothered him with my la-la. This hunting place became quite lucky for me - the barnacle goose, the geese began to fall quite regularly, the consumption of cartridges decreased, the head was gradually cleared, the mind became clear and calm. I want to note that at some point I switched to the usual hunting winter suit and understood that you need to put on hunting clothes for hunting, and military clothes for war. No, there were no complaints about the clothes, but it was more comfortable for me in hunting.
And life entered a calm channel and rolled like trains in Germany - strictly on schedule and very convenient. Our everyday life was provided by Vitaly Shurukhin, who covered the positions of the cook and the senior in the beam, and the huntsman Misha, who was a nanny and educator for me in one bottle. I’ll tell you about food that Vitaliy promised that on the third day the goose would stop getting into us and we would ask for Krakow, which even after two packages smelled so that thoughts about it all the time hovered somewhere nearby. However, Yakut's skill in cooking game turned out to be beyond praise, and I personally asked not for mercy, but for supplements every time. Of course, one should not expect blancmange with jelly and macedouan in breadcrumbs, but what Vitaly prepared was very, very to my taste. The menu was simple - in the morning porridge with milk or pancakes with condensed milk, and goose meat the rest of the time. Sometimes with a side dish of pasta or cereals, and sometimes as a soup. Once, however, sublimated potatoes happened, but they did not win laurels and were sent to the dustbin of history. Valera, as a respected person in society, received coffee freshly brewed in a Turkish pot in the morning, the rest drank tea with pleasure. Of course, for obvious reasons, there were problems with bread, but maybe it's for the best?

The potbelly stove regularly supplied us with heat, which was especially important on those days when the wind blew right at the door of our house. At some point, I once again appreciated Valera's experience in terms of equipment - he had wonderful fur galoshes on a rubber run. How many times have I envied him when, having jumped into them right from the second tier of the bunks, he retired towards the sanitary facility. The fact is that it is impossible to dig a hole for a toilet in the local conditions, so it is built on piles. Accordingly, you ascend to it, as to the throne - solemnly and obviously for everyone. Inside, the quality of the finish allows you to be there in light clothing, which is quite important in conditions when you throw off ports at speed. The architect of this structure even provided for a rope nailed to the wall inside, but I forgot to tell you why, and we all puzzled over it.
I repeat - life was properly organized, Vitaly had a satellite phone with him, with the help of which we even placed orders in the Amderma store.
Let's get back to hunting. There was a lot of living creatures, I even saw a polar fox at a distance of a confident shot from a carbine. Buzzards constantly hovered in the sky, lemmings provided them with a food base, and seagulls did something for which some of them were executed with all proletarian hatred - crap One of the gulls fell exactly on river bank on the route to the beam. Nobody began to eat it and it lay, acting as a pointing stone - from here to the beam 300 meters, they say.
Hunting was more likely, after all, labor, rather than free, but this made it so valuable and desirable - not meat harvesting, but Hunting. Although I did not count the bird, I think that for the whole brigade we shot down more than two hundred geese. They ate something, prepared something, took something to Amderma and distributed it to the locals.

Last year, we already offered our readers an on-line migratory goose migration tracking service. If someone is not yet familiar with our materials, and became our reader this year, we will briefly recall the main thing last year, and then post the data for this year. So, the attention of all "goose people" is offered:

We decided to give our readers the opportunity to learn how to track the migration of migratory goose waves without leaving the computer. Today we will teach you how to track your favorite hunting object directly from the monitor screen around the world. With our help, you can track the flight of geese according to the data of two geopositioning control systems at once.

If you click, for example, on the picture below, you will see a standard example of the migration route of the bean goose named Adri, which flies in close proximity to the bases of the National Trust of Saint Tryphon. In autumn it flies through the base "Badger" in the Tula region, and in the spring - through the base "Noble Nest" , "All" in the Tver region. But this does not mean at all that other waves of the migratory goose do not exist. There are quite a lot of them, so we will give you a whole mechanism for tracking the waves of migration of geese.

One request - so that this can work for future generations - do not shoot marked birds. Orange collars in spring waves - German, yellow - Japanese and Italian. Please let us know about any collars you see.

The most complete and successful project tracks the migrations of the goose that... winters in Western Europeblessgans.de. This German site provides its visitors with the opportunity to follow the migration of the goose through the traditional Google Earth service.

However, hunters who have chosen the hunting bases of "EBF-Tour" and the National Fund of St. Tryphon are not a hindrance. It is the migration of this goose that passes through our bases in Red Hill ("Noble Nest" ).

Partially it affects our base "All"(city of Vesyegonsk) and Dolgolugovskoe hunting farm . According to our hunters, on average, only 7-10 hunters out of 100 hunters (that is why we offer huts and profiles) located on the hunted hunting grounds, and only 1 out of 1000 hunters out of 1000 (that is why we are guaranteed we sell goose tours only at the "Noble Nest" base in Red Hill.

Years of "our" goose, wintering in Egypt, can be tracked on this site, some specimens have already set off last year and were refreshed in Turkey (as of March 16, 2009).

However, we will teach you how to accurately track a goose to select a place and time of hunting with the help of the most advanced Google Earth service in the world. Of course, this service is not intended for hunters at all, but, on the contrary, for scientists and wildlife conservationists.

Let's try to figure out how, after all, geese fly through Belarus in spring. And we will do this using the example of the most numerous species - the white-fronted goose.

First, let's look at the places of wintering

The nesting range of the white-fronted goose is circumpolar, it covers the tundra and forest-tundra of Eurasia and North America. The main wintering areas of European white-fronted geese are located in the countries of Western and Central Europe, some birds winter on the Balkan Peninsula, in the Black Sea region and the southern regions of the Caspian Sea.

What is known from the literature?

At the end of the last century, visual survey data were published. In the article “Features of the migration of waterbirds in Belarus”, the spring migration of geese is described as follows:

“In spring, most geese migrate in east and northeast directions. At the same time, a certain regularity is observed in the direction of flight. So, in the southern part of Belarus, the eastern direction prevails, which coincides with the location of the Pripyat channel from west to east. The vast majority of geese fly to the east in this zone: 82.7% in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, 87.1% in the Pripyat floodplain (Pripyatsky Reserve). In the southeastern point of Belarus (the territory adjacent to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant), where the river bed. Pripyat turns to the southeast, only 20% of the geese continue to follow the Pripyat floodplain, 34% fly further east, and the majority - 42% - turn to the northeast.

In the central part of the republic, most geese migrate in a northeasterly direction. Thus, in the floodplain of the Neman River, which flows from the southeast to the northwest, the main direction of migration of geese was northeast (58%) and east (25%). In the environs of Minsk, the east direction prevailed (52.8% of registered birds), 24.2% flew to the southeast and 20.3% to the northeast. In the floodplain Berezina, the majority of geese migrate in a northeasterly direction (49%)”.

Thus, in spring, the general direction of movement of migrating geese is from west to east.

Satellite data

Modern technologies make it possible to monitor the migration of geese in real time. Bird tracking using GPS navigation has been carried out by many organizations around the world for several years. The most complete and successful project traces the migration of geese wintering in Western Europe. The German site blessgans.de provides its visitors with the opportunity to follow the migration of the goose through the traditional Google Earth service.

Some of the geese wintering in Western Europe fly north of Belarus in spring. One of the main spring gathering places for geese migrating through this region is the Neman river delta. Further, the birds fly to nesting sites located in the tundra of the European North of Russia.



Another part of the geese flies through Belarus in spring. It can be said that it is less fortunate, because in the spring we do not have a warm welcome for birds.

And finally, information from our Bird Ringing Center

We currently have information from more than 200 ringed birds. The average age of harvested white-fronted geese is over three years (1046 days). The maximum age recorded from banding data is over 22 years. However, given the fact that an adult bird was ringed, her age was at least 24 years old.

Based on information received from ringed birds, it can be stated that the main wintering grounds of white-fronted geese migrating through Belarus are located in Western Europe (Netherlands, Germany, England). In 139 out of 143 cases, they were ringed in the territory of the Netherlands.

Information from the nesting sites of birds flying through Belarus is scarce, but available data suggest that the white-fronted geese nesting area extends from the coast of the White Sea to at least Taimyr.

conclusions

In principle, the new data did not significantly change our understanding of the white-fronted geese's spring migration routes. Its general direction on the territory of our country is east and northeast. A part of the white-fronted goose population is characterized by a loop-like migration: in the spring from Western Europe, they first fly east, and in the central regions of Russia and Northern Kazakhstan they turn north. In autumn, these birds return to their wintering grounds by the shortest route along the coast of the Baltic Sea, only partially affecting Belarus.

Online tracking of migratory goose migration has been carried out for more than 10 years.
Online migratory goose migration maps using GPS transmitters look something like this:

Since 2006, the Bird Conservation Committee (Vogelschutz-Komitee e.V.) has funded a satellite tracking project for white-fronted geese.
A special computer program has been developed that allows anyone to track the migration paths of geese over the Internet in real time ...

Birds have been ringed for scientific purposes for over 100 years. Traditionally, metal rings were used with engraved numbers and the name of the ring organization. Thanks to ringing, it was possible to learn a lot about the directions and routes of bird migration and about the features of their ecology.
Unfortunately, the metal ring becomes informative only when the bird can be held in one's hands. In most cases, these are already dead birds; Thus, information about ringed geese comes mainly from hunters. Occasionally it is possible to catch a ringed bird, or read the ring number from a short distance. We will never know about the fate of the vast majority of birds ringed with metal rings.
Due to the fact that the return rate of metal rings is extremely low, specialists began to use colored marks. Geese are usually marked with colored leg rings and collars, the numbers of which can be read by examining the bird through binoculars, even from a great distance. Birds of other species are marked with wings and other colored marks.

In addition, radio and satellite transmitters are now used to study bird migrations; however, the satellite tracking method is very expensive, and radio tracking requires considerable effort and time.

Unfortunately, such tracking of geese migration is short-lived. Many geese die a natural death, some get shot by a hunter. If you come across a goose with a GPS transmitter, please inform the owner of the transmitter. The coordinates are usually indicated on the transmitter itself or on the website blessgans.de or geese.org. This will help the study and conservation of wild geese in the world.
Some unscrupulous hunters keep transmitters as keepsakes or try to sell them to their owners.

We remind

  • Goose hunting in Ukraine in 2017 is still prohibited
  • Never shoot marked birds so that it can work for future generations.
  • Tagged geese sightings can be reported online at geese.org
  • Orange collars in the spring waves of migration of geese are German, yellow ones are Japanese and Italian.
