Resumen
Tratamos con diferentes experimentos para hacer un
seguimiento de la Scolopax rusticola. Intentamos
conocer la migración de esta ave en el Paleárctico
Occidental
Transmisor de 12 g.
Transmisores de 12 y de 9.5 g.
El Paleárctico
Paleárctico Occidental
(Reparto espacial de la becada en Europa)
Amarillo: zona estricta de reproducción
Azul: zona estricta de invierno
Verde: zona de reproducción y de invierno
Primer projecto (2006)
Trasgu: Scolopax rusticola sin fronteras
Trasgu: hembra?

• La carga de los PTTs es la clave, no sólo contra las
interferencias sino para obtener mejor emisiones

11,425 Km

2008)

Laguna llegó a los alrededores de Elizarovo, en Kostroma
LAGUNA muerta
• Después del 24 de septiembre, Laguna no dio más
datos
7,400 km
Laguna ha vuelto al mismo lugar en la que fue capturada, ruzando toda Europa en época de
caza : su trayectoria total es de unos 7.420 km.

Araba ha ido hasta los alrededores de Rantala, República de Karelia

Desde el 14 de septiembre, en todas las emisiones, el sensor de actividad no ha cambiado;
el ave está muerta o su PTT se ha desprendido

Conclusions
• Araba:
• Araba:
Araba was resting in Sweden two days
Duty cycle
• The charge of the PTTs has been greater than in our
previous experiments
• In each emission per day, Argos has given more
locations this year than in the previous two years
• The emissions’ data given by Argos have been much
better in quality [1] and quantity
• The frequency of the emissions has been more regular
than in the two previous projects
• The frequency has been broken only in very few
occasions, when clearly there were no interference
problems. So, as hypothesis, we have tried to link this
phenomenon with the woodcocks’ roding [2] or croule
• The problem of the interference has been overcome with
high charge, as we proposed in our previous
experiments
[1] Araba’s emissions have been better than Laguna’s
[2] See what is said below about roding
Roding or croule
From June 8th to June 13th; from June 24th to 29th; from July 4th
(a LC Z location) to July 10th; from July 31st (a LC Z location) to
August 5th and from August 10th (a LC Z location) to August 16th
(two LC Z locations) and then to August 24th (a LC Z location)
Araba’s data (young woodcock):
• While Araba was in Araba (Basque Country), here the dates when
the bird was missing:
March 29th (a LC Z location) to April 1st. From April 6th to April 11th
and then from April 11th to April 16th
Taking into account the specific technological characteristics of these two PTTs,
which are able to be charged in very difficult environments, it can be plausible that
during the above mentioned dates both birds could have been first roding and then
mating females. (See Woodcocks behavior in the breeding season: roding and
nesting: http://www.euskonews.com/0472zbk/gaia47204en.html .)
Interference
Paul Howey wanted to check two prototypes in Europe
and with woodcocks:
• To know whether these prototypes charge better or not
• To know if these new PTTs charge well with such a
special bird as the woodcock is (moving in special
spaces, traveling at night, and so on)
• To know the performance of these new PTT against the
European interference
(We do know that in order to overcome the interference
the PTT’s charge is the main variable.)
• The final result is net: the European interference has
been overcome with both PTTs, during all the time the
tracking lasted and in all the different atmospheric
circumstances
Global results
• With reference to the weight of the PTT and to the
weight of the bird, this is the first experiment done in
Europe
To know more about the migration of the Scolopax rusticola, to gather data with
more frequency and better accuracy, we will keep working, researching always
following the advices of MTI
Acknowledgments
This work is based on the different projects performed by the CCB (Club de
Cazadores de Becadas) since 2006 up to 2008. The projects have been sponsored
by the Government of Navarre (2006, 2007, 2008), the Government of Catalonia
(2006) and Microwave Telemetry Inc (MTI) (providing two prototypes with a new
technology in 2008); also by the CCB itself (in all these years)
• The Navarrese team (Isabel Leranoz, Alfredo Beloki and Jose Inazio Urriza) and the
Araba team (brothers Asier and Rubén San Vicente, Josu Salazar, Victor Regueiro,
Javier Uriarte and Ikatz Pérez de Arriba)
• Dr. Charles Fadat and Dr. Nikita Chernetsov gave very helpful information
• Jonathan Rubines used genetic analyses to know the sex of our woodcocks
• The friends of Argos always have been ready to help: Maura Massana, Anne Marie
Breonce, Aline Duplaa and Bill Woodward
• Last but not least, special thanks to the whole team of Microwave Telemetry Inc
(MTI), to Cathy Bykowsky, and mainly to Paul Howey
This work is part of a series of different papers done by a team
composed by Ibon Telletxea, Mikel Arrazola, Zarbo Ibarrola,
Raúl Migueliz, Joakin Anso, Izaskun Ajuriagerra, Ruben
Ibáñez, Roberto Gogeaskoetxea, Felipe Diez and Joseba Felix
Tobar-Arbulu. The photos were taken by Mikel Arrazola,
Zarbo Ibarrola and Ibon Telletxea.

Recuperación del PTT de
Araba en Karelia, 2009
• El PTT deja de emitir el 20 de octubre de
2008
• Desde el 14 de septiembre el sensor de
actividad no ha cambiado
• El 5 de mayo del 2009 el PTT comienza a
emitir de nuevo, sensor de actividad sin
cambiar
• El PTT ha estado enterrado en nieve
durantes meses, y sin embargo funciona
Localizaciones en Soujarvi
¿Dónde está el PTT?
Cuarto proyecto: (en marcha,
2010)
• Cinco PTTs
