<p><em>O_WESTERSCHELDE - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding in East Flanders (Belgium)</em> is a bird tracking dataset published by the <a href="https://www.inbo.be/en">Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)</a>. It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (<a href="http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds">http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds</a>) for the project/study <strong>O_WESTERSCHELDE</strong>, using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, <a href="http://www.uva-bits.nl">http://www.uva-bits.nl</a>). The study was operational from 2018 to 2020. In total 13 individuals of Eurasian oystercatchers (<em>Haematopus ostralegus</em>) have been tagged in their breeding area in East Flanders (Belgium), west of the river Scheldt, mainly to study their habitat use on mudflats of the Western Scheldt (the Netherlands). Data are periodically uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see <a href="https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking">https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking</a>).</p>
<p>Data in this package are exported from Movebank study <em>O_WESTERSCHELDE - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding in East Flanders (Belgium)</em> (Movebank Study ID 1099562810), which can be viewed at <a href="https://www.movebank.org/cms/webapp?gwt_fragment=page=studies,path=study1099562810">https://www.movebank.org/cms/webapp?gwt_fragment=page=studies,path=study1099562810</a>. Fields in the data follow the Movebank Attribute Dictionary (<a href="http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB">http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB</a>) and are described in <code>datapackage.json</code>.</p>
