Houbaras fitted with satellite trasmitters
AL AIN — Two of the four wild houbaras who were caught along with falcons in February 2005, south of Abu Dhabi are currently wintering in the UAE. An official from the National Avian Research Centre (NARC) in Sowaihan, which is part of the Environment Agency, Abu Dhabi, said that four young female houbaras had been fitted with Argos satellite transmitters to study their migration route and identify their region of origin.
The official pointed out that the first houbara was killed soon afterwards and the second one was also hunted in Oman in April, while she was begining to migrate.
He highlighted that the satellite transmitters send regular signals revealing the complete post and pre-breeding migration routes of the two other houbaras. Both females crossed the straight of Hormuz, stopping over in Iran and continued to the north following the Afghan border, crossing Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan up to Kazakhstan.
They spent their breeding season in two different regions of Kazakhstan, and came back to the UAE in autumn, following nearly the same route they travelled in spring. Both of them are currently wintering in the UAE.
