Monitoring the southern dunlin on Öland

Nu är arbetet igång med att försöka rädda den sydliga kärrsnäppan.

I dagarna är Mattias Ullman ute och inventerar Schäferiängarna på Öland och redan första dagen hittade han flera par. Mattias inventeringar är grunden för projektet med att rädda den sydliga kärrsnäppan.

At selected nesting sites, nests will be monitored carefully during the whole of the breeding season and parents will be ringed while brooding. At the same time, we count the number of eggs in the nest and make notes of how many young that hatch and how many that survive until they fledge. Before the young leave the nest, they are ringed so that we can follow them over time, see how many returns from the overwintering sites and thus estimate survival rates for returning individuals. The Southern Dunlin is known to return to the same nesting site each year.
