Titel: Geen broedende steltlopers op Groenland dit jaar?
Bericht door: frankmeer op juli 06, 2018, 12:39:39 PM
Ik kreeg de volgende mail van onderzoeker Jeroen Reneerkens, over de barre omstandigheden voor steltlopers en dan met name Drieteenstrandlopers dit broedseizoen in noordoost-Groenland, met de oproep om de verhouding aan jonge vogels dit najaar door te geven.


It is early July, and most Arctic shorebirds are on their breeding grounds now. I have just returned from Zackenberg in northeast Greenland, and it appeared to be a non-breeding season, which I have never experienced before. It looks like hardly any shorebird will breed this year along the entire east coast of Greenland, so I would already like to ask for your help to document the (extend of the) effects of this odd Arctic summer by counting the number of juvenile and adult Sanderlings when they have returned from the Arctic. You can find a manual of how to do this attached to this e-mail. Please send your counts to me by e-mail.

In this link you can read more about what I witnessed in the last half of June in Greenland:
