Lex was captured as an adult bird in the colony of Boezem van Kinderdijk in the Netherlands in 2008.
Lex is named after Lex Holst, a former employee of Shell, who has made great efforts over the past two years to support the development of the Shell - Wetlands International partnership. The protection of flyways is an important theme within our partnership and this Follow the Bird project is a result of his wonderful efforts.
Lex was amongst the first birds who started their southward migration.
On 11 September 2008, he has sent signals southeast of Paris in France.
On 13 September, he was flying over the sea east of Barcelona in Spain.
Two days later, he sent two signals from the Sahara desert in Algeria. Probably he has faced bad weather conditions here, because his has changed course.
On 18 September, we received his signals from a small ephemeral wetland from the southern edge of the Sahara from Mauritania. However, thereafter he has sent no more signals and his fate remains unknown.
