The Team
The team of Project Jağrakan is a gathering of people with similar interests and a common fascination with Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits. Currently the team includes people from several backgrounds and distinct professional activities that share a passion to better understand migratory systems, with the ultimate goal of better preserving our natural heritage.
Members of Project Jağrakan organize regular trips throughout the Icelandic Godwit’s range to catch and resight colour-ringed Godwits and to meet with local observers. Over the years, the network of bird-watchers and ornithologists that have contributed to the project has grown and many of these people have become part of the project, contributing to this long term study at several levels
