On March 3rd, 2006, a Eurasian woodcock was released in Etxarri-Aranatz (Navarre) wearing a 12 g solar PTT, duty cycle 48/10.
The woodcock travelled around 3,740 km.
Here some clear results:
a) Few emissions up to Russia
b) The woodcock was in her possible nest from May 27th to June 16th without emitting. (This is why we think the bird was a female.) After that, the bird disappeared
c) We were aware of the problem of the interferences in Europe [1]
