Do GPS collars and coded neckbands tell the same story about year-round movements in geese?
Our study suggests that the historical and current use of coded neckband data for greylag goose management decisions is appropriate regarding space use of migratory greylag geese in Europe. Understanding whether the existing reporter network can capture changes to the migratory behaviour of greylag geese including short-stopping of migration will however require additional in-depth analyses.
