I will conduct radio tracking work on Dunlin (Calidris alpina) on Chongming Island from November 2006 to February 2007. The aim is to study the habitat preference of Dunlin in the Chongming Dongtan nature reserve. I would like to answer the question like: How does the tidal cycle affect Dunlins’ habitat preference. How does the movement of dunlins change with the time of the day?         Main duties include radio-tracking along the dyke once every two days, and survey in the mudflat (Occasional). There will also be bird catching and ringing work probably once a month. Free food, accommodation and transportation will be provided in Shanghai.           The winter in Shanghai may get down to zero degrees Celsius or even a few degrees below. Snowing may happen once or twice throughout the winter. The work can be tough in poor weather condition and the living condition is fairly simple and basic. Nonetheless, there are white storks and several cranes species that winter here, as well as hundred thousands of ducks. Wintering passerines such as the Reed parrotbill (Paradoxomis heudei), reed buntings and other Emberize sp etc in the reed beds. Therefore, it’s going to be a great opportunity for bird lover to watch birds and get involved in scientific research work.           Volunteers need to be enthusiastic, liable and enjoy field work, a biological background or knowledge on bird / radio tracking is a plus.         Please send me your CV, a short cover letter with two referees if you are interested. My email address is   052023113@fudan.edu.cn We can only afford to take volunteer who is willing to stay for at least a week or longer. « Last Edit: Sep 28th, 2006, 11:52pm by Webcreeper » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題 => Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
