The data of the last season
The ACMA (Association of Aquatic Migratory Hunters) has provided an interesting update regarding the satellite telemetry relating to the 2022-2023 season. Here is what the hunting agency made public: “Excellent news this year from our coots that we have equipped with satellite transmitters this winter. First of all (and this is no small thing) almost all 18 coots transmit and with good signal quality”.
The situation of the coots
The ACMA then added: “But the most shocking news for both us hunters and researchers was the unusual trajectory and destination chosen by this coot to go and reproduce, in fact it ended up in TUNISIA….. yes things not believe. You never stop learning!"
The Tunisian coast
Finally: “Initially we thought it was a satellite error but now it has been transmitting correctly for two weeks from a small lake a few hundred meters away on the coast of Tunisia. Who knows what will be special about this lake to suddenly decide to leave from a comfortable and safe Valle Veneta and go and reproduce there. The mysteries of migration!”
