It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (https://lifewatch.be/birds) for the project/study TURTUR_VLAANDEREN, using trackers developed by Global Messenger (https://www.gm-tracking.com). The study has been operational since 2025. In total 13 individuals of European turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) have been tagged at several locations in Flanders (Belgium), mainly to study their habitat use and foraging behaviour. Data are automatically synced with Movebank and from there periodically archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking).This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by INBO and funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch. Additional funding was provided by Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (ANB).Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the movepub R package and are subsampled to the first GPS position per hour. The original data are available in Spanoghe et al. (2026, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23097871), a deposit of Movebank study 7675204759. animal movement animal tracking gps tracking altitude temperature biologging birds LifeWatch Global Messenger Movebank frictionlessdata n/a Occurrence GBIF Dataset Type Vocabulary: http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/dataset_type_2015-07-10.xml To the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the Public Domain (CC0 1.0).
