Field notes

The map pairs a regional radar layer with individual GPS trajectories, allowing visitors to compare overall migration intensity with the movements of named species. Its visible coverage centers on Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany for radar measurements, while the tracked-bird layer extends across Europe. The page identifies KNMI as the radar source and Movebank as the source for open research-study tracks, with credits attached to individual bird pages.
