Migratory Shorebird Study Results Released
Read Chris Hassell’s latest report on his work with the Global Flyway Network on Migratory Shorebirds in Bohai Bay, Northern China during April May 2011. The GFN report of the field work in Bohai Bay, Northern China during April and May 2011 is now up on the Global Flyway Network site.
Peak scientific publication to use data from GFN study
There will also be a scientific paper published in the next volume of “Emu-Austral Ornithology” using the data from Chris Hassell’s 2009 visit and the data from Yan Hong Yan. This report highlights the pressures that the migratory birds are facing during their stopover periods in the Yellow Sea. It is rather depressing reading (but interesting I hope!)
