Description

NGO Kotkaklubi (Eagle Club) and 5D Vision Ltd have developed an online portal birdmap.5dvision.ee, to visualize GPS data of migratory birds. Current dataset serves as a copy of source data for this visualization. The portal operates since 2006. Birds of 12 different species have been monitored, total number of individuals has been more than 160. Currently over 850 thousand occurrences (GPS fixes) are stored in the database. The data is managed via web-based backend that enables different methods of importing gps data (Movebank, manual upload for different receiver data formats). As the dataset covers long period of monitoring different species, various types of GPS transmitters have been used. Illustrated data about species and individuals can also be added. To enable publishing of the data to GBIF, synchronization to PlutoF biological data management platform was developed. The aim of the Birdmap portal is to increase awareness, international communication about nature and its protection by combining the possibilities and advancements of modern technology with this attractive natural phenomenon as well as providing researches and decision-makers with visualized spatial data for using in environmental analysis of possible influence of large-scale infrastructure projects. (Due to legal reasons exact location data of species with highest protection category in Estonia, belonging to Estonian territory, are not disclosed in this dataset and are available on request.)
