ArcticBarnies

The Arctic summer is short, and for migrant birds that breed here timely arrival is of vital importance for a successful breeding season. But what happens when the climate changes, and temperatures rise in the Arctic? How do the prospects for these birds change, and can they adjust their migration schedule in order to keep up with change? In the project 'ArcticBarnies' we study how climate change affects migration strategies of Barnacle Geese. Here we write on the progress, the successes and the challenges, and the eventual results of our research project!

#4: Autumn is coming - spot those geese!

The Barnacle Geese have prepared for the long journey to the south, and are about to start flying towards North-Western Europe. Observers in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands, pay attention for incoming Barnies, look for white - black colourbands and post your observations on www.geese.org!
