GSMs reveal movements of gulls between large islands

With the help of T. Muñoz from the GOB we equipped four breeding Yellow Legged gulls with GPS/GSM devices at Dragonera Regional Park.  The first tracks reveal unexpected large movements of one male between the main islands Mallorca and Ibiza.  More to come.

Summering in Eastern Spain

The three Yellow Legged Gulls equipped with GPS-GSM in Mallorca at the beginning of this summer decided to spend the summer in different places. As many tourists, however, they chose to spend the summer in North-Eastern Spain. One (green cyrcle) moved up to Zaragoza, a second one stayed in Mallorca (blue cyrcle) and a third spent the summer near Barcelona (red cyrcle). 

Soon will be time to decide where to spend the winter ..?! 

First long tracks from Dragonera

The GSM/GPS devices are sending interesting information on bird movements. Marked gulls seem to have moved their core area northward, between the delta of the river Llobregat and the landfill, north of Barcelona city.
