Back in July, we shared how our colleagues in Poland had worked with ornithologists to ring a number of Kestrel chicks and Chelm and Rudniki. One of them also had a GPS transmitter installed.

Thanks to the transmitter, they know that this young Kestrel has already visited the neighbourhood of several of our plants and spent its holidays in the Bia?owie?a forest.  For a bird not much larger than a Pigeon, the length of the Kestrel route is impressive!

The choice of location is also interesting because the Bia?owie?a Primeval forest is the last fragment of lowland forests in these areas of Europe and additionally it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Our colleagues have, therefore, decided that their Kestrel deserves a name. This was selected in an internal competition for CEMEX Polska employees. Now the traveller Kestrel has been named Aurora while two other names – Wagabundo and Echo – were given to ringed Kestrels from Che?m and Rudniki.
