皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app device is used to track the flights and migration patterns of bats and birds across the North Sea. It is one of many that make up a network of these devices, which have been installed along the East Anglian and European coastlines.

皇冠体育app data produced by the receiver will be analysed by as part of their studies into migrations of Nathusius鈥� pipistrelle bats. It will also be used by the for the same purpose.

Adam Willis, a graduate engineer for the Environment Agency, said:

We were happy to work with the Norwich Bat Group on this and we hope the data produced from the receiver helps them conserve and protect bats and birds.

Jane Harris, a national Nathusius鈥� pipistrelle project officer for the Norwich Bat Group, said:

皇冠体育app installation would not have been possible without the help and support from the Environment Agency.

Thanks to them, we have gained another receiver in the East Anglian array. This will help provide valuable information about the poorly understood seasonal movements of Nathusius鈥� pipistrelle in the region.

Several British bird observatories have receivers too, including in Felixstowe and in Suffolk.

Additional information

• 皇冠体育app antennae and receiver mounted on the pumping station receive signals from tiny radio tags that are attached to bats and birds to track their movements.
• Radio tagging is done by the Norwich Bat Group under licence with strict welfare considerations.
• 皇冠体育app tags are attached between the shoulder blades with medical glue and will fall off after 2 to 3 weeks.
• Large butterflies and dragonflies can also be tracked.
• 皇冠体育app equipment was funded by and installed by members of
• 皇冠体育app information gathered by receivers, like the one installed at Benacre Pumping Station, is fed into the , which is a global database of animal detections.
• 皇冠体育app Motus Wildlife Tracking System is used to track tagged birds, bats and other species using radio telemetry. It is a global system and is maintained by .
