Detailed information

The satellite telemetry enables us to get very detailed data. In one of our long-term studies on Osprey and Marsh harrier migration we have obtained positions every hour in three dimensions with 10-20 m accuracy during the birds’ repeated journeys between Sweden and Africa. With this data, course changes during days could be analysed in relation to different possible compass mechanisms as well as to wind, landscape and possible goal areas and landmarks from preceding journeys.
