MOTUS Detection


The Motus tower at Landguard has noted a Starling. Originally fitted with a nanotag at Dan Helder in the Netherlands on 8th November this bird has many detections after being tagged. It was recorded by six different Dutch towers on 6th December before being detected by the Landguard tower on the same date. The tag was fitted by Wageningen University & Research who will have exact timings of how long the bird took to cross the North Sea and directions of the various detections which will be available in due course.
