Current Affairs Czech Radio tracks a trio of black storks as they migrate southwards
You may well already be familiar with "New Odyssey", an on-going project supported by Czech Radio, using satellite to monitor the migration routes of black storks as they head south for warmer climates every autumn. When the project first started ten years ago, our colleagues followed the progress of black storks here in Europe, as they made their way to Africa. But for the last three years, the project has moved east, mapping the migration of storks from Siberia and Mongolia to India and Burma. This year's attempt to tag the annual epic journey of three birds - using satellite receivers known as "backpacks" - is just getting under way. Project zoologist Lubomir Peske:
