Teddy has entered southern Siberia and is well on his way to the RBG nesting grounds showing his support for World Migratory Bird Day which is being celebrated worldwide on May 12-13. Bonn/Nairobi, 10 – 13 May 2012 – Migratory birds undertake some of the most daring journeys in the animal kingdom, often covering [...]
On April 2 Teddy entered Kalmykia and arrived at the protected nature reserve “Tzernie zemli” about 25 km to the South-East from his previous location in “Rostovsky” Nature Reserve. Teddy was roosting at the new site known as Bouyan Island and foraging 4 km northward in the fields near the north bank of the Kumo-Manytch [...]
Teddy reached the Kumo-Manytch depression on the border of Kalmykia. On March 27th Teddy made a 330 km journey eastwards and landed in the salt marches of Vodny and Gorely Islands, located in the heart of “Rostovsky” Nature Reserve, Russia. This area is part of the Kumo-Manytch depression, which is a traditional stop-over site for [...]
Teddy flies directly across the Sea of Azov and lands in Russia. History of recent events: March 20 Teddy is still located in the Priazovsky National Park in Ukraine, just at the southern corner of the Bulgarian village of Botjevo. It stays there from 11:00 AM to 15:00 PM. and, few hours later, Teddy [...]
The Bulgaria-U.S. Red-breasted Goose Project is conducting this satellite telemetry study to determine movements on wintering grounds and during migration, to better understand foraging and roosting behaviours of the species, to unravel the secrets of its enigmatic flyway and to identify the threats on stop over sites. This exciting study aims to increase knowledge of [...]

Teddy takes off ! After a short stop in the Danubian coastal wetlands at Histria in Romania (one of the core areas of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve), Teddy has now arrived in northern Crimea, Ukraine. It appears he has started his long journey back to Russia. He probably flew the 460 km directly across the Black [...]
Small numbers of RBG still remain in Durankulak, Bulgaria On March 15th Teddy made a 184 km direct flight to the Danube Delta from his last location a few km north of the Danube River and near the City of Bucharest. Teddy flew to an area just one km west of lake Histria, near the [...]
Teddy has made his first documented international trip and arrived in Romania on February 29 in an area just a km north of the Danube River and the village of Dunareni. See google earth satellite photo. Teddy appears to be moving and foraging in an area of several km of croplands in preparation for his next movements on his northward migration.
Satellite Telemetry Updates – Successful discovery of RBG location ! The Le Balkan team did not expect to witness such a concentration of about 3500 Red-breasted Geese at Durankulak Lake after the active 3-4 days migration to the north. Indeed, in spite of the active geese migration that started 4 days ago there are still [...]
Due to progressively milder weather during the past three days (2, 4 and 10 degrees C) the Le Balkan Foundation team has observed a very active migration of White-fronted and Red-breasted Geese, which are staging along the sector between Shabla and Durankulak and then flying north towards the Romanian border and beyond. We watched as [...]
