As you observed the June 8, the effect of radar exceeded all our expectations, so here are more pictures of this action on the blog.
These are images that me and Pedro, the project coordinator, saw in the monitors. They collected the amount of cagarros who were in the areas covered by the radar. The yellow dots mark the number of birds, and the blue dots the speed of flying.
The radar was placed at different locations into the island. On land we choose points on the cliffs, to capture better the nocturnal movement entering and leaving the nests, to understand the possible differences in habits. Finally, we put the radar on a boat sailing around the island, and we get better and more accurate measurement of cagarros residing in Corvo island.
The result was an entire success, the radar technicians and Pedro Geraldes were satisfied with the hard work at night.
The location of birds, plus the complexity of them, brings to
these events a very important step. We must consider that it is the first time that is performed this type of seabirds monitoring in Portugal.
