New models, new portal, new possibilities
After introducing our new models of dataloggers to the market and equipping with them this year's offsprings, there comes time for refreshing the portal. Especially since the new models register new data, enabling enhanced methods for visualisation and analysis. Add the fact of this season slowly reaching its end, expected can be further enhancements, improvements and embellishments. We are hoping the improvements will delight the users and facilitate research.
Winter - time for extensive testing
Winter is a difficult time. As well for the Nature, as for advanced technology. Most devices fitted on animals which naturally do not follow the sun, stop operating. Fewer news on their movements can be found. Full of hope awaiting spring and sun stories fill up the media. Aquila devices are an interesting exception. The reason is simple - for us winter is a particularly busy time.
Bittersweet fate of the logger manufacturer
When business is passion, this seems inevitable - sometimes you do not know whether to laugh or cry. We have been facing this state surprisingly often recently. Imagine this - a logger fitted 6 years ago, stopped sending data in 2022 and after 2 years starts sending again. But it turns out te bird had been dead for some time, and something simply flipped the carcass allowing the sunlight to charge the battery and activate the device.
New Aquila dataloggers
We have the pleasure to announce the introduction of whole new range of Aquila loggers. The most important novelties are the weight, which significantly extends the range of bird species they can be utilised on, and data transmission via GPRS, which enormously reduces the costs of data acquisition.

First sighting of Amur Falcon in Kazakhstan
Last year during field works in Kazakhstan we managed to observe and photograph the Amur Falcon Falco amurensis. It turned out to be the first confirmed sighting of the species in modern times for the country. In the recent issue of the "Raptor Conservation" magazine No. 47 of the RRRCN organization an article was published. Please feel free to read and download further in this article.
