Today's attempt to cross the Reschenpass had to be cancelled because of the lack of thermal. Tomorrow we will try again, hoping that the weather will be better.
As always, you can find the latest migration information on our Facebook page. All previous flight tracks are available via this link.
Support our project by adopting a Northern Bald Ibis for a year.
All donors get an adoption certificate with a picture and the name of the adopted bird and a small thank you gift.
The Northern Bald Ibis is a migratory bird which was native in Central Europe until the 17th century, before it became extinct due to the huge hunting pressure. Today the Northern Bald Ibis is one of the most endangered bird species worldwide. In the context of an EU project (LIFE+ Biodiversity), with partners in Austria, Italy and Germany, the species is to be reintroduced in Europe.
Thirty-one juvenile Northern Bald Ibises were hand-raised by two human foster parents. It is an extraordinary group, perfectly imprinted on the two foster parents, reliable and homogeneous. Since June, the birds were trained in Überlingen/Hödingen.
