Metadata: 2024, RSPB, Morlais, Marine Characterisation Research Project, LoRaWAN seabird tagging (WP15c; Phase 2)
Abstract:
Legring Longrange radio (LoRa) seabird tags were developed for Common Guillemot by an engineering team from RSPB, Arribada, Copernicus as part of WP15c on behalf of Menter Mon. Year 1 tag fitment (2023) was unsuccessful but trial deployments were undertaken on the Marinus buoy and geese at WWT Slimbridge. 5 solar powered rings were fitted by RSPB in June 2024 and data was received from these by an array of 4 time of arrival (TDoA) gateways. These were installed around the site at The Range, RSPB South Stack visitor centre, Elins Tower and South Stack lighthouse owned by Trinity House which was arranged by contract. Seabird tracking is short lived based on tags attached by tape so a legring device allows data over a longer duration.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19033 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2024, RSPB, Morlais, Marine Characterisation Research Project, LoRaWAN seabird tagging (WP15c; Phase 2) |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 26b53621-cefe-412e-a7d2-283f87d15e64 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-4272 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2024-06-25 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2024-08-31 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The task proved more difficult than expected and needed considerably more engineering time than was outlined in the original proposal, due to the various iterations/adaptions of the tag required. This is often the case though, but the challenges were not insurmountable as was proved. With the complications caused by non-fitment in the first year of the project and then gateway breakdowns there were clearly major lessons learnt. The engineering of the Mk1 leg rings relied on measurement of dead birds but with avian influenza prevalent it was very difficult to get the opportunity to work with live seabirds at this time. Also to prepare for anything as the exposed nature of the MDZ site did also cause infrastructure problems and the gateways lost connection to the TTN on a number of occasions, due to storms and power cuts. Other occasions such as the portable appliance testing were more difficult to identify remotely. The distance to the site of the project lead and the limited time he had available was an issue with a day of travel needed each way for any site visits. Various trips were rescheduled due to staff availability or weather at South Stack and a more local person working on the project would have been beneficial in these cases |
