Observing European bird migration via radar (1 Viewer)

[NBonomo]

Hello, I'll be in eastern Europe this spring and am interested in monitoring nocturnal migration via radar while I am there. Here in the US such unfiltered radar returns are readily available for free to the public on the internet. However with a bit of an internet search I so far have been unable to find an equivalent for Europe. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Nick

Welcome to BirdForum. My understanding is that there isn't anything like this for Europe-wide coverage. I think it's a lot more complicated to integrate data across numerous countries, whereas in North America it's much simpler. I think there may be systems for some individual countries (maybe the Netherlands?). There are lots of nocturnal migration enthusiasts across Europe, however, so there is some sharing of information. The Trektellen site is probably the best place to find recent nocmig data:
