Voluntariado con aves en Holanda

VOLUNTEER FIELD ASSISTANT, The Netherlands: Volunteers are needed from

Ruffs, Philomachus pugnax. The project is under the supervision of Prof.
Dr. Theunis Piersma, head of the Animal Ecology Group of the University
of Groningen. The fieldwork consists in the monitoring color-banded
birds in Southwest Friesland, a characteristic Dutch meadow area along
the shore of Lake IJsselmeer in the north of The Netherlands. We collect
data on the timing of migration, habitat use, phenotype characteristics,
feeding and reproductive behavior of the birds; but you will also assist
with the banding of the birds, blood sampling, and data entry.
Volunteers and students involved will live together. Applicants need to
have good social skills, a driver licence, experience with handling
birds and color-ring reading is preferred but command of Dutch or
Frisian is not necessary ;-). We provide housing and field equipment.
Volunteers must pay own airfare and living expenses (3-4 Euro per day).
However a refund of traveling costs might be possible (depending on
pending grant applications). TO APPLY: Please send a resume/CV, a cover
letter addressing any relevant experience, time available and two
