Researchers from the Victorian Wader Study Group – a special interest group of Birds Australia [BirdLife Partner] - have just recaptured a Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria interpres which has completed a 27,000 km round trip migration for the second time.
This is the first time a wader has been tracked with a geolocator on its complete migration in successive years.
The bird had a one gram light sensor data logger (geolocator) attached
to its leg. This device recorded where the bird was each morning and
evening. In each year the device was attached to the bird in mid April
on a beach at Flinders, Victoria, in southeast Australia.
