Orueta 7. E-48314. Gautegiz-Arteaga [email protected] www.birdcenter.org 2 SUMMARY The osprey restoration program in the BasQue Country started in 2013. The aim is to establish a founder population in the Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai, which ultimately may help out the recolonization of estuaries and wetlands of northern Iberian Peninsula, thus promoting connectivity between the populations in Southern Iberia and continental France. During this third year of the project, under the licence from Scottish Natural Heritage, 13 osprey chicks were translocated from Scotland to a hacking tower located at the Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai (Biscay, BasQue Country). The birds were kept in the hacking tower between 17 and 31 days. During this period the birds ate properly (271,19 g/day per bird) and all of them experienced positive growth. All birds were fitted 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. One of the chicks suffers from epilepsy and died after having several seizures once released. After release, the birds stayed on average 32.4 days in the vicinity of the hacking tower and left Urdaibai between August 28 and September 9.

  • Estudio De La Distribución De Las Plantas Halófilas Y Su
    ESTUDIO DE LA DISTRIBUCION DE LAS PLANTAS HALOFILAS Y SU RELACION CON LOS FACTORES AMBIENTALES EN LA MARISMA DE MUNDAKA-URDAIBAI. IMPLICACIONES EN LA GESTION DEL MEDIO NATURAL Iñaki Benito Iza Miren Onaindia Olalde RESUMEN Se ha estudiado la ecología de las plantas y comunidades halófilas de la marisma de Mundaka-Urdaibai. El análisis de los perfiles ecológicos de las especies con respecto a los factores ambientales, así como la infor- mación mutua especie-factor; permiten detectar las especies indicadoras y distinguir a éstas según su amplitud ecológica. Mediante análisis factoriales se establecen siete grupos ecológicos que caracterizan diferentes zo- nas de la secuencia topográfica de la marisma. Desde el nivel medio de las pleamares muertas hasta las plea- mares astronómicas, los siete grupos definidos están dominados por Zostera noltii, Spartina maritima, Salicornia ramosissima, Halimione portulacoides, Juncus martitimus, Scirpus maritimus y Hymus pycnanthus, respectiva- mente. El grandiente topográfico está asociado a un cambio progresivo en las condiciones edáficas, con un in- cremento patente de la materia orgánica, mientras que la salinidad sufre variaciones menos predecibles. En parte, la organización espacial y composición de las comunidades vegetales, principalmente en la marisma al- ta, es reflejo de la alternancia histórica entre la ocupación agrícola, el abandono de terrenos y recolonización de halófitos. Indudablemente, el conocimiento de la ecología de las especies y las comunidades vegetales, su estruc- tura y dinámica espacio-temporal, es esencial para establecer unas pautas de gestión fundamentales para pre- servar tan preciado ecosistema. SUMMARY The ecology of halophytic plant communities at the Mundaka-Urdaibai estuary was studied. The analysis of both ecological profils of species with respect to environmental factors and the species-factor mutual informa- tion, allowed us to detect main indicator species and their ecological amplitude.

    Student Notes The Amazing Story of the Migration of “Osprey 30” By Tim on September 4, 2015 Osprey 30(05) carries a miniature satellite tracker.With the first full batch of migration data now in, we know that 30 left her nest shortly after 9am on Monday morning (31st August). Remarkably this was exactly the same as autumn 2014; almost to the minute. The weather on Monday was poor for migration (rain and low cloud) but it did not stop this experienced navigator setting out on her tenth autumn migration. During the course of the morning 30 made steady progress south, and by 1pm she was already south of Bath. An easterly wind resulted in her drifting further to the west than autumn 2014, but by the time she set-off across the English Channel from Portland Bill she had begun to compensate for this westerly drift. At 3pm she was half way across the channel, 85 kilomteres west of the corresponding position (at exactly the same time) on her 2014 journey. She skirted to the east of the Channel Islands and reached the Normandy coast at 5pm; three hours after passing Portland Bill. She continued flying until 8pm when she was perched close to a lake in the town of Craon in Pays de la Loire. She had flown just under 600km from Rutland Water and, although we do not know exactly where she roosted, she was now just 25km west of her 2014 flight path. 30’s first day of migration was very similar to her flight on the same day in 2014 ©J&P Murray, 2015.

  • Leisure Activities As a Main Threat for the Conservation of Waterbirds in an Estuary in Northern Iberia
    243 Leisure activities as a main threat for the conservation of waterbirds in an estuary in northern Iberia J. Arizaga, R. Garaita, A. Galarza Arizaga, J., Garaita, R., Galarza, A., 2020. Leisure activities as a main threat for the conservation of water- birds in an estuary in northern Iberia. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 43.2: 243–253, Doi: https://doi. org/10.32800/abc.2020.43.0243 Abstract Leisure activities as a main threat for the conservation of waterbirds in an estuary in northern Iberia. Human disturbances can have a severe impact on avian conservation, decreasing diversity and carrying capacity of ecosystems. Coastal wetlands are hotspots for the conservation of biodiversity but they commonly suffer the impact of human activity because they are usually priority areas for socio–economic development. The aim of this study was to determine the role of several factors on the potential and real disturbances of human origin on waterbirds over an annual cycle, and to evaluate their impact on the waterbird community. The study was carried out at the Urdaibai estuary (Spain). Although Urdaibai is a main coastal refuge for aquatic birds in Northern Spain (a Ramsar site, Natura 2000 site, Reserve of Biosphere), it faces high levels of human–induced distur- bances. We found disturbances varied across the day, week and year, with peak disturbance coinciding with hours, days and months with highest activity, mostly associated with leisure options. The impact on waterbirds varied between species and the response to such impacts was also species–specific. Disturbances were highest near the river mouth and decreased towards the upper parts of the estuary.

  • Microzooplankton Grazing in the Estuary of Mundaka, Spain, and Its Impact on Phytoplankton Distribution Along the Salinity Gradient
    AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 14: 281-288.1998 Published April 6 Aquat Microb Ecol l Microzooplankton grazing in the Estuary of Mundaka, Spain, and its impact on phytoplankton distribution along the salinity gradient A. Ruiz, J. Franco, F. Villate Laboratorio de Ecologia, Departamento de Biologia Vegetal y Ecologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad del Pats Vasco, Apdo 644, E-48080 Bilbao. Spain ABSTRACT: Microzooplankton grazing impact (<200 pm fraction) on phytoplankton along a salinity gradient in the Estuary of Mundaka (Bay of Biscay, Spain) was analyzed dunng summer (August 1990) using a serial dilution method. Both microzooplankton grazing rate and phytoplankton growth rate were high (mean g= 0.75 d-l, mean k = 1.90 d-' respectively), and well correlated, denoting an opti- mization in the efficiency of energy transport through the pelagic food web. Microzooplankton her- bivory represented a mean loss of 38% of initial standing stock of chlorophyll and 46% of potential phytoplankton primary production in the inner zone of the estuary, where changes in phytoplankton biomass were mainly a function of initial hiomass. In the intermediate and outer zones, microzoo- plankton grazed around 54 % of initial standing stock of chlorophyll and more than 60% of potential phytoplankton primary produchon. In these zones, changes in phytoplankton biomass were mainly a function of phytoplankton growth. In spite of the importance of microzooplankton grazing, this factor alone cannot be responsible for the observed phytoplankton distribution along the salinity gradient. KEY WORDS: Microzooplankton grazing . Herbivory impact - Phytoplankton distribution - Estuaries INTRODUCTION 1989),the microzooplankton assemblage has been iden- tified as the main consumer of phytoplankton.

The re-working of dumped sediments from their disposal sites to places of 18 great ecological value can have a very strong impact on the ecosystems through deep 19 changes over the communities and the trophic web. Using a relevant dredging-dumping 20 episode carried out in 2003 at Urdaibai, one the chief estuary areas in northern Iberia, 21 we tested the consequence of this action on the subsequent use of the zone by 22 shorebirds. The surface sediment characteristics before and after the dredging and 23 dumping actions were also compared. The dredging at Urdaibai showed a negative 24 effect on bird abundance in three out of the eight species tested overall (dunlin, grey 25 plover, common ringed plover). Highest-ranked models supported a decrease in their 26 population sizes two years after the event. In this scenario, local authorities should be 27 appealed to take dredging and dumping effects into account in order to improve the 28 estuary management.

The restlessness and initiative of people to learn about our vital space and the venture of institutions and its inhabitants to value the resources of the territory, make us aware of our natural and cultural heritage. The beauty of the place is also an ingredient that is implicit in everyday life.
