- Аннотация: Large birds like geese and swans have been followed by individual ringing or satellite and GPS tracking for a long time, allowing for many new insights into their ecology and behaviour. Until recently, most tags have been deployed using a harness on the back of the birds. Many geese of the genus Anser have, however, been shown to damage such tags relatively quickly, necessitating the development of alternative tag designs. Here we compare our experiences with deploying GPS backpacks versus GPS tags that were integrated in a plastic neckband for three different species: Greylag Geese (Anser anser), Greater White-fronted Geese (A. a. albifrons and A. albifrons flavirostris) and Taiga Bean Geese (A. f. fabalis). Generally, neckbands performed better than backpacks; they had longer lifetimes (electronics and attachment) with similar or higher survival rates of the birds. Thus, we recommend the use of lightweight neckband tags with a smooth internal surface and no external antenna for those species. Since neckband tags also seem suitable for juvenile grey geese, we propose the possibly to extend its applicability also to other, smaller species.
