The LifeWatch
bird tracking data are open: you can download these in
bulk, via the
CartoDB API or the
GBIF API. The recently released bird tracking explorer, an open source tool, now allows you to quickly explore those data per individual and time period.
The bird tracking explorer currently contains data from 63 individuals (44 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 16 Herring Gulls and 3 Western Marsh Harriers). Depending on the individual, tracks are available from May 2013 until August 2014. That includes the winter period during which certain birds migrate to Spain and Africa.
Read all about the used technology and different features of the tool in the blogpost below.
Happy exploring!
