Details

BOP_RODENT - Rodent specialized birds of prey (Circus, Asio, Buteo) in Flanders (Belgium) is a bird tracking dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds) for the project/study BOP_RODENT, using trackers developed by Ornitela (https://www.ornitela.com). The study has been operational since 2020. In total 18 individuals of 5 bird of prey species have been tagged at several locations in Flanders (Belgium), mainly to study their habitat use and migration behaviour.
