Track migratory birds via electronic cards

Every year, the Manx seabirds often have a journey of up to 20,000 km. Electronic cards are mounted on them to monitor the migration journey, showing that after 2 weeks of flying, they have a rest to find food, refuel and then continue their journey.

12 electronic tagged birds have provided valuable data in their flight. The study also found that seabirds flying across the ocean are different from the way birds live in the mainland, they do not fly the same journey each year.

Manx seagulls tagged with a relatively small body weight, only 400g. They do not store a lot of energy so flying and resting together with their aerodynamic structure is very suitable.

7 out of 12 electronic cards with salt water when they returned after 7 months of disaster showed that the seagulls used to play on the waves to rest, even dive into the sea to hunt.
