It is possible to use the devices for tracking of smaller birds as well, such as little egret (Egretta garzetta).

It is quite possible a higher class (heavier) EBT tracker to be replaced with a lower weight (lower class) device. This should be in compliance with the particular bird’s feather size. For birds with large feathers, it might be possible that the feathers cover the device solar panel (if a lower class tracker is used) and thus to disturb the tracker’s energy balance and lifetime during use. That is why it is recommended to use the specifi ed above tracker devices per bird’s weight.
