Wetlands are among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet, largely due to their conversion to agricultural or dry land. L'Albufera de Vàlencia is characterized by a large expanse of rice fields (c. 14,000 ha), which hosts the most important colony of Grey Heron Ardea cinerea on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The colony was visited every 10 days during February-April of 2016 to 2018 and during May-July of 2015 to 2017. The reproductive parameters were estimated for each year and season. We also monitored the available habitat and habitat use of the species in the rice fields from February 2016 to June 2017. The condition of the rice field was related to reproductive parameters. The breeding period was divided into two stages per year. In 2016 all reproductive parameters were lower values, coinciding with a larger area of dry fields in winter and low rainfall in summer. Breeding success was found to be positively associated with the muddy/semi-flooded fields and negatively associated with the sown fields. Like Grey Heron, other waterbirds species nesting in L'Albufera de Valencia could depend on the condition of the rice fields for breeding success. Their reproductive requirements should be considered in rice cultivation management.","PeriodicalId":54408,"journal":{"name":"Waterbirds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86598678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Senegal hosts hundreds of wintering Eurasian Spoonbills Platalea leucorodia every year. To contribute to the paucity of knowledge on their distribution and ecology, this study aimed to compare the occurrence and behaviour of spoonbills at the three most important sites in Senegal: Djoudj National Park, Technopôle of Dakar and Palmarin Reserve. Based on monthly counts in 2017 and 2018, Djoudj reached peak numbers of more than 2500 birds in April. The number in Palmarin peaked at 500 birds in October. In both cases this well exceeds the 1% threshold for the East Atlantic Flyway population, but Djoudj can hold up to a sixth of the population. Technopôle is an intermediate site that rarely hosts more than 50 individuals. Based on the scanning of behaviours throughout the day, we show that foraging activity was high early in the morning and decreased towards noon. At Palmarin, Spoonbills spent more time resting (68%) than at Djoudj (50%), allocating less time to foraging (16%) compared with Djoudj (29%). If this indicates favourable wintering habitat at Palmarin, the growing population of Eurasian Spoonbills from Europe may increasingly rely on the Palmarin site during the coming decade.","PeriodicalId":54408,"journal":{"name":"Waterbirds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74916120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding important factors for breeding Eared Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) is essential for its conservation. We aimed to study the impact of some factors on nests and breeding success in this species in fishponds (S Poland). Number of Eared Grebe nests were counted on particular carp ponds. Pond size, vegetation cover, number of nests in colonies of associated gull or tern species, and age of stocked common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were determined for all ponds with nests. We also investigated the relationship between nest size, material used to construct them and clutch size. Number of Eared Grebe nests positively correlated with number of breeding pairs of associated colonial species (terns or gulls). Selection of the breeding site by the Eared Grebe can be explained by appropriate nest protection by large colonies of associated species (Whiskered Tern Chlidonias hybrida and Black-headed Gull Chroicocephalus ridibundus). Nest size was not related to clutch size. A negative relationship between breeding success and number of nests of Eared Grebe was found. Food is a not limiting factor for the Eared Grebe on fishponds with extensive production, and presumably other factors such as weather conditions may explain the low breeding success of this species.","PeriodicalId":54408,"journal":{"name":"Waterbirds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72949470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stopover habitats in long-distance migrants such as Siberian Cranes (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) are subject to dynamic changes, both seasonally and spatially. Due to the difficulty in conserving stopover habitats across vast geographies, it is necessary to clarify the timing and route patterns of stopover sites in order to take practical measures to protect habitats. From 2014 to 2018, we successfully tracked n = 10 Siberian Cranes by satellite tracking and obtained data for n = 26 complete migrations. We obtained the annual cycle of cranes and analyzed the repeatability between seasons and individuals. According to tracking data, Siberian Cranes started and ended autumn migration on 23 September and 19 November, respectively. Spring migration started on 8 April and ended on 4 June. The migration routes between seasons showed spatial similarity but less repeatability. There is significant repeatability in migration routes from 48°N to 58°N (Russian areas) between individuals in spring. Our results provide support for some seasonal plasticity in the timing of migration and flexibility in routes taken by migrating Siberian Cranes. Other than rigid patrol and guardianship for the entire spring, we also propose strengthening monitoring and protection in the identified stopover areas from the end of March to the beginning of May each year.","PeriodicalId":54408,"journal":{"name":"Waterbirds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84207536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Population estimates derived from monitoring efforts can be sensitive to the survey method selected, potentially leading to biased estimates and low precision relative to true population size. While small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) present a unique opportunity to survey avian populations while limiting disturbance, relatively little is known about how this method compares with more traditional approaches. In this study we compared population estimates of Snowy (Egretta thula) and Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis) in a mixed-species colony in the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland, USA) derived from UAS photo counts, flush counts, flight-line surveys, and in-colony nest counts along with the time required to derive an estimate via each approach. We found that UAS counts and flush counts produced lower pair estimates than nest counts and flight-line surveys (P < 0.05), and required dramatically less time (x̄ = 6, 8, 84 and 90 min, respectively). These results suggest that while UAS have the potential to collect valuable survey data from breeding colonies that are hard to reach or are especially sensitive to the disturbance inherent in other methods, inherent biases should be considered and caution should be used when comparing results between survey types.","PeriodicalId":54408,"journal":{"name":"Waterbirds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86668626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
