<p>&lt;em&gt;O_AMELAND - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding on Ameland (the Netherlands)&lt;/em&gt; is a bird tracking dataset published by &lt;a href="http://www.sovon.nl"&gt;Sovon&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="https://ibed.uva.nl"&gt;University of Amsterdam&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://www.inbo.be/en"&gt;Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)&lt;/a&gt;. It contains animal tracking data for the study &lt;strong&gt;O_AMELAND&lt;/strong&gt; using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, &lt;a href="http://www.uva-bits.nl"&gt;http://www.uva-bits.nl&lt;/a&gt;). The study was&amp;nbsp;operational from 2010 to 2013. In total 15 individuals of Eurasian oystercatchers (&lt;em&gt;Haematopus ostralegus&lt;/em&gt;) have been tagged as a breeding bird on the Wadden island Ameland (the Netherlands), mainly to study their space use during the breeding season. Data are uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see &lt;a href="https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking"&gt;https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking&lt;/a&gt;). No new data are expected.</p><p>See van der Kolk et al.

Funding was provided by NAM and supported by the UvA-BiTS virtual lab on the Dutch national e-infrastructure, built with support of LifeWatch, the Netherlands eScience Center, SURFsara and SURFfoundation. The dataset was published with funding from Stichting NLBIF - Netherlands Biodiversity Information Facility.</p><p>Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the &lt;a href="https://inbo.github.io/movepub/"&gt;movepub&lt;/a&gt; R package and are downsampled to the first GPS position per hour.
