A wildlife tracking system installed on the Calf of Man will allow for the in-depth study of bird migration in the area. The Motus equipment, part of a global network, picks up radio signals from tagged species, helping researchers understand the mysteries of bird migration. The technology also records larger insects and taps into an international research network created by Birds Canada. The system will facilitate research and education on migratory animals at this important site for birds migrating through the Irish Sea.
A wildlife tracking system installed on the Calf of Man will allow for the in-depth study of bird migration in the area, Manx Wildlife Trust have said.
The technology, which can also record larger insects such as dragonflies and butterflies, taps into an international research network created by conservation organisation Birds Canada. Mr Sapsford said having the Motus tower at the bird observatory was an "incredibly exciting development" that would allow for "innovative research".
It would also allow for more detailed studies of local species, such as the red-billed chough, which are considered more sedentary, a trust spokesman said.
