In February 2022, the three-year project “Investigations into space use, survival rates and causes of death of oystercatcher chicks using continuous telemetry” was launched. The project area is the Arlau area in Beltringharder Koog in Schleswig-Holstein. Initially five and from 2023 ten receiving stations in the Arlau reservoir of the Beltringharder Koog will be used to automatically record the location of the chicks at intervals of a few seconds using cross direction finding. This makes it possible to determine where the chicks prefer to stay, when and under what circumstances losses occur and when they fledge.
