It's almost spring, so we've started fieldwork on the project "Movement analysis of forest-dwelling avian predators: a novel bioindication method for evaluating functional heterogeneity in forest ecosystems", funded by the National Science Centre.

The Estonian-Polish team has spent the last 10 days in the Białowieża Forest monitoring and trapping goshawks. We're hurrying with the first part of the work before the goshawks start nesting properly and lay their first eggs. We managed to trap the first few individuals and equip them with GPS loggers, which will allow us to track their movements in forests of varying degrees of heterogeneity. Keep your fingers crossed for our goshawks!
