Laguna [1] was caught in Legutio (Araba, Basque Country) in 2008. Laguna is male, young, his weight is 385 grams.
Laguna has gone up to the surroundings of Elizarovo, in Kostroma.
After the emission given on September 24th, Laguna gave no more datum. On December 27th was hunted at Legutio, at 454 meters from his release point.
How is it that his PTT gave no datum at all?
Laguna’s weight when we caught him, before his release: 385 grams. Laguna’s weight when he was hunted: 300 grams. This decrease is normal, since the bird traveled from Russia and crossed the whole Europe.
But this decrease does not explain the fact that his PTT gave no datum. In spite of some possible looseness of the harness, the PTT could have been charged and, therefore, it could have emitted.
Despite his death, Laguna has also become an Iron woodcock. He has been able to come back to the same place where we caught him, crossing Europe while the hunting period was open. All in all, his whole track has been around 7,420 km.
Long live Laguna!
