Grácie

Sex: female

Transmitter: 0B0C

Monitored from: 29.4.2024, Počapelské Chalupy

Year 2024: During the 2024 breeding season, she was captured in a field near Počapelské Chalupy in the Pardubice region, but the nesting attempt was unsuccessful. From the second half of May, she moved around the Pardubice region, near the villages of Hradiště na Písku, Počapelské Chalupy, Velké Koloděje, and Brozany.

She began her autumn migration on October 20, crossing Germany with one stop and then staying for a month in fields near Troyes. At the end of November, she moved to the area near Tours, where she stayed until the end of the year.

 

 

Year 2025: During January, Grácie remained in France near Tours. From there, she began her journey back to the Czech Republic on 14.2. During migration, she made one short stop near Paris, close to Étampes. However, she crossed Germany in just two days.

She arrived in the Czech Republic on 11.3., and from 13.3. she was again moving through familiar area near Sezemice in the Pardubice Region, where she began nesting. Unfortunately, both of her nesting attempts here, spaced about a month apart, ended in predation. Possibly in response, she tried to change location and moved to the Hrochův Týnec area on 23.5., but her nesting attempt there was also unsuccessful.

She set off on migration as early as summer (20.7.). After a short stopover in Germany, she reached France on 28.7. Until the beginning of November, she stayed in the vicinity of Paris, then moved for two months to the area around Tours. At the beginning of January, she started moving again, heading towards Spain, but did not reach it – she stopped before the Pyrenees (near Orthez). On 20.1., she set off once more, heading back north towards Tours.
