The website where you can check on these birds is here: http://behavioural-ecology.orn.mpg.de:3838/NZ2019_BTGO/
It will automatically show the last 10 days, but you can change that with the cog icon in the right-hand corner. The latest position for each bird is shown as a pulsing dot - click on the dots and it will give the details of who, when and what quality the record is. You can select just a bird of interest via the cog also. Quality is 3 = best, letters = uncertain or bad. If you want to look for a bird in the field, just select the good positions (again, via the cog).Times are local, but there is a 5-h delay in uploading, so if you're itching to see where a bird is this morning, wait until the afternoon... The tags are solar, so night-time flights appear as straight lines and the bird will appear when the sun comes up.
When you find a bird, let us know!
Thanks, Phil
