Speaker: Dr Ros Green, BTO

Ros will present the results of her PhD research so far, studying the migration of Common Shelduck in relation to offshore wind farms. She’s been GPS tracking their migration for five years, and is also using stable isotope analysis to understand where they moult and spend their winters. She’ll also show you how she intends to use BTO (BirdTrack) data, bird club data and other data sources to understand this species’ migration better, and explain how the growing number of offshore wind farms might impact this migration.

This meeting will be held by Zoom. The link will be emailed to members a week in advance. Guests can request the link by emailing: [email protected]
