First swift in the Melsele colony

Yesterday (2025-04-25) evening around 21:30h we got confirmation of the first swift arrival at the colony in Melsele. This good news got even better when we noticed that this is one of several swifts monitored with high-tech PathTrack GPS loggers. Noteworthy is that Lyndon‘s swift tracking program received a video monitoring upgrade this winter with the support of the city of Beveren/Melsele and Regionale Landschappen Schelde-Durme. This system is similar to the colony in Ghent.
