Annual Report 2016
OSPREY RESTORATION PROJECT IN THE URDAIBAI BIOSPHERE RESERVE (BASQUE COUNTRY) ANNUAL REPORT 2016 !1 OSPREY RESTORATION PROJECT IN THE URDAIBAI BIOSPHERE RESERVE (BASQUE COUNTRY) INFORME ANUAL 2016 Aitor Galarza Project team: María del Mar del Arco Vicente De Alba Xarles Cepeda Javier Elorriaga Aitor Galarza Jon Maguregi Edorta Unamuno Jose Mari Unamuno Ander Zabala Íñigo Zuberogoitia Urdaibai Bird Center. Orueta 7. E-48314. Gautegiz-Arteaga [email protected] www.birdcenter.org !2 SUMMARY The osprey restoration program in the Basque Country started in 2013. Its aim is to establish a founder population in the Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai. This may ultimately help the recolonization of estuaries and wetlands of northern Iberian Peninsula, thus promoting connectivity between the populations in Southern Iberia and continental France. This year, the fourth in the project, 12 osprey chicks were translocated from Scotland to a hacking tower located at the Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai (Biscay, Basque Country) under the license from Scottish Natural Heritage. The birds were kept in the hacking tower for between 17 and 31 days. During this period the birds ate properly (201,6 g/day per bird) and most of them experienced positive growth. All birds were citted with a backpack transmitter (1.70 g PP Biotrack), which was replaced by a satellite transmitter (30 g Microwave Argos / GPS Solar PTT) in the case of a single bird. After release, the birds stayed on average 32.4 days in the vicinity of the hacking tower and left Urdaibai between August 23 and September 10. Three individuals died during the phase dependence, one was probably predated, another was electrocuted and a third died of an undetermined illness.
