We use 2279 recoveries and 16 769 resightings of 4735 colour-ringed individuals to describe dispersal and timing of movements of Danish Cormorants. Most Cormorants dispersed from the colonies to coastal areas and freshwater lakes in Denmark, Sweden and northern Germany in July. Southward movements took place throughout July to December. Major departure from the post-breeding areas occurred from August to mid-October, with many birds staging at Dutch and Alpine lakes between September and October, and with arrival in the Mediterranean mainly from October to November. Spring migration was fast, occurring from mid-February to March. First-year birds migrated south faster and reached the wintering areas sooner than adults, but left these later and moved north more slowly than adults. Wintering occurred from Portugal in the west to Greece in the east, and from Denmark in the north to North Africa in the south. The majority of Cormorants spent the winter in Mediterranean France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Albania, Algeria and in particular in Tunisia. Adult males stayed closer to the breeding areas in winter than females, and adults tended to winter further north than first-year birds. Sex differences in body size and advantages of arriving early at the breeding sites may explain why males wintered further north than females.}, keywords = {Aves}, author = {Bregnballe, T. and Frederiksen, M. and Gregersen, J.} } @article {3232, title = {Nest spacing and breeding performance in Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus in northeast Greece}, journal = {Bird StudyBird Study}, volume = {52}, number = {3}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Amores, F., Franco, A., Alimentation et e?cologie du Circae?te Jean-le-Blanc dans le sud de l{\textquoteright}Espagne (1981) Alauda, 49, pp. 59-64; Bakaloudis, D.E., (2000) The Ecology of Short-Toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus, Gm.) in Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest Complex, Thrace, Greece, , PhD Thesis, Reading University; Bakaloudis, D.E., Vlachos, C.G., Holloway, G.J., Habitat use by Short-Toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus and reptilian prey during the breeding season in Dadia Forest (north-eastern Greece) (1998) J.

Aims: To describe the phenology and breeding success of one of the densest populations of Short-toed Eagle in Europe. Methods: All nests in the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli forest in northeast Greece were located and visited regularly throughout the 1996-98 breeding seasons. Data on every stage of the breeding cycle were collected and related to among-year variation in the weather conditions during March to June. Results: A total of 58 pairs were located during the three-year study spread across 22 territories (the same territories are usually occupied each year). The nests were evenly spaced (mean of 2.7 km between nests). Adults arrived between mid-March and mid-April. Only one egg per nest was laid. Nestlings fledged on average after 68.9 days. Eagles departed between 8 September and 2 October. Conclusions: Arrival date determines laying date. The population size appears to be stable but the species has a relatively low reproductive rate and takes three to four years to mature, consequently it may be susceptible to stochastic or human-mediated factors. {\textcopyright} 2005 British Trust for Ornithology.}, keywords = {Aves}, author = {Bakaloudis, D.E. and Vlachos, C.G. and Holloway, G.J.} } @article {2626, title = {Post-breeding migration of Reed and Great Reed warblers breeding in southeast Greece}, journal = {Bird StudyBird Study}, volume = {45}, number = {3}, year = {1998}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 3Export Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Cramp, S., (1992) The Birds of the Western Palearctic, 6. , Oxford University Press, Oxford; Naylor, A., Green, R., Timing of fledging and passage of juvenile Reed Warblers (1976) Wicken Fen Group Rep., 8, pp. 15-18; Thorne, C.J.R., Premigratory weights of juvenile Reed and Sedge Warblers at Wicken Fen (1976) Wicken Fen Group Rep., 8, pp. 18-24; Insley, H., Boswell, R.C., The timing of arrivals of Reed and Sedge Warblers at South Coast ringing sites during autumn passage (1978) Ringing Migr., 2, pp. 1-9; Litera?k, I., Honza, M., Pavelka, K., Post-breeding migration of the Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus in the northeastern part of the Czech Republic (1995) Vogelwarte, 39, pp. 100-105; Zink, G., (1973) Der Zug Europa?ischer Singvo?gel.

In this work, Reed and Great Reed Warbler mist-netting data from a breeding site in Greece are analysed to determine the change in catching rate and the timing of premigratory fattening, both of which are indicators of departure movements. In both species, departure seemed to occur at the same time or earlier than further north in Europe. Adults of both species left the study site earlier than juveniles and Great Reed Warblers slightly earlier than Reed Warblers. This differs greatly from recent findings in the western Mediterranean. One reason for this early departure is the possible early depletion of food caused by the summer drought. Starting as they do from the northern coast of the Mediterranean, birds departing from the study site would be far more advanced in their southward movement than conspecifics leaving from central or northern European breeding grounds.}, keywords = {Aves}, author = {Akriotis, T.} }
