EuroBirdPortal maps bird movements across Europe
The portal says it uses records from 100,000 volunteer birdwatchers and receives 30 million new observations each year.
EuroBirdPortal is presenting Europe-wide patterns of bird distribution and movement through a live online portal built from observations submitted by volunteer birdwatchers.
The portal says its network includes 100,000 volunteers and generates 30 million new bird records each year. Those records are used to examine how bird distribution changes across both space and time.
EuroBirdPortal describes its focus as unravelling European-wide spatiotemporal patterns of bird distribution, providing a broad view of movement across the continent.
The supplied material does not specify how frequently the portal is updated, which species or countries are covered, or whether “live” refers to real-time tracking. It also does not establish that the service tracks every bird or provides GPS-level movement data.
