Meeting of the State Office for the Environment and Terra Naturalis with a view to starting the census and the fitting of birds with transmitters

Given the importance of getting to know the evolution of the population of lesser kestrels, the ZEPAURBAN project anticipates the carrying out of periodic censuses (action A1) in urban ZEPAs, following established methodology and protocols with the aim of generating a solvent database of the colonies and roosts of the species. In the same way fitting of birds with transmitters and their subsequent recapture is envisaged so as to obtain new data on their movements (action A2) to both their feeding areas when breeding and their subsequent dispersal and migration. This is the objective of this first coordination meeting of the two partners involved in the work to be carried out during the first census of 2017 and the fitting of birds with transmitters.
