Patapon is the first heron from which no signal has been emitted since April 25th 2AM, from its last location in the pond only 3 days after being equiped. Is Patapon alive? Is the battery defective? Is there a technical problem with the material? The answer will remain a mystery until further (…)

On April 22nd Patapon is equipped with his Argos battery PTT, and emits signals two days later in the pond where he was captured. The bird is thus alive and the PTT is working, good news for the LIFE program!
