Successful attachment of tracking devices on Cape Gannets!

I am so pleased to announce that my team and I successfully deployed 20 loggers on adult Cape Gannets! We did the deployments in February 2023 on Bird and Malgas islands in South Africa and are receiving regular updates on the movement of our birds. They are ranging far and wide and we can’t wait to analyse the tracks. The data from these loggers will provide invaluable information on where these endangered seabirds go during the non-breeding season and we will ensure that the information gets fed into ongoing marine spatial planning initiatives. Another huge thank you to everyone who made this possible!
