Abstrakt:	Recent tracking technology has shown that some birds migrate at extreme altitudes, potentially to avoid predators. Predation risk during migration is a significant factor contributing to high mortality rates among birds. A study tracking Grey Plovers revealed that one bird was killed by a Peregrine Falcon at 3000m above ground, challenging the idea that flying at extreme altitudes can always protect against predators. The research was funded by the Dutch Research Council and conducted by a team of scientists. [Extracted from the article]
