<p>&lt;em&gt;O_VLIELAND - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding and wintering on Vlieland (the Netherlands)&lt;/em&gt; is a bird tracking dataset published by the &lt;a href="https://nioo.knaw.nl"&gt;Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.sovon.nl"&gt;Sovon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ru.nl"&gt;Radboud University&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 collected during &lt;a href="https://chirpscholekster.nl"&gt;CHIRP&lt;/a&gt; (Cumulative Human Impact on biRd Populations) for the study &lt;strong&gt;O_VLIELAND&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 operational from 2016 to 2021. In total 103 individuals of Eurasian oystercatchers (&lt;em&gt;Haematopus ostralegus&lt;/em&gt;) have been tagged either as a breeding bird or while overwintering on the Wadden island Vlieland (the Netherlands), mainly to study how they respond to disturbances from aircraft. 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 the Applied and Engineering Sciences domain of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO-TTW 14638) and co-funding via NWO-TTW by Royal Netherlands Air Force, Birdlife Netherlands, NAM gas exploration and Deltares. 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.
