Tracking movements of Spoonbills

In June 2021,  50+ young spoonbills from France and The Netherlands were equipped with an Ornitela transmitter. You can follow them in real-time on their first southward migration. Select one or more spoonbills to find out where they are at this moment and keep on track via de blogs of Tamar Lok.
