New

The data analysis from the GPS transmitters constantly provides interesting new facts. Last data analysis showed some inexplicable flights of some birds to Marijampole. Just recently one unknow colony of Common tern was discovered on the roof of industrial building in Alytus, therefore the project team was expecting to find something similar in Marijampole. It was the right presumption – on the roof of the industrial building a colony of app. 160 Black headed gulls was discovered along with 60 pairs of Common terns. It seems, that tracking will bring new discoveries about the terns’ life.
