Aims To provide an easy method for distinguishing the shed flight feathers of the Greater Spotted Eagle, Lesser Spotted Eagle, and their hybrids. Methods We examined seven morphological characteristics and developed multinomial logistic regression models to aid in identification of feathers. Results The most informative feature was the relative feather length. Barring improved the identification of tail feathers, secondaries, and proximal primaries. Feathers of Lesser Spotted Eagles were significantly shorter and more barred than those of Greater Spotted Eagles. Feathers of hybrids were also highly barred but had an intermediate length. The length from the tip to notch, width of the notch, and specific colouration patterns were also included in the best models for specific feather types. The combination of these characteristics resulted in identification accuracies of 89–97% for Lesser Spotted Eagle feathers and 80–100% for Greater Spotted Eagle feathers. However, all F1-hybrids were incorrectly identified as Greater Spotted or Lesser Spotted Eagles. Conclusion Shed feathers could have potential for the non-invasive field identification of spotted eagle species at nest sites. However, the identification of hybrids based on feathers is difficult due to substantial morphological variation and overlap with parent species.","PeriodicalId":55353,"journal":{"name":"Bird Study","volume":"70 1","pages":"151 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44328127","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}

Aims The national population of Mute Swans in Great Britain has more than doubled since the 1970s, and previous correlative analyses of national population changes identified a national ban on lead angling weights in 1987 as the main driver of this change. We examine regional variation in Mute Swan population changes to test the contribution of additional environmental covariates to the observed increase. Methods We explore regional and national variation in Mute Swan population trends to changes in climate, agriculture, water quality, and angling to assess whether the same patterns emerge at different scales. Results Changes in the extent of oilseed rape and wheat, which provide winter food for Mute Swans, showed a consistent positive association with the spatial and temporal pattern of Mute Swan population trends, while a proxy for the expected change in the exposure of swans to lead weights from angling contributed much less. Conclusion The lead weight ban occurred alongside rapid changes in arable cropping area, with swans probably benefitting from both increased food resources and reduced rates of lead ingestion. Our study highlights the value of exploiting both spatial and temporal variation in abundance when exploring potential drivers of population change. Future changes in agricultural policy and practice in Great Britain may influence Mute Swan populations.","PeriodicalId":55353,"journal":{"name":"Bird Study","volume":"70 1","pages":"99 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47361772","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}

Results Both species of tern rarely contacted salt water during the breeding season, except when bathing or plunge-diving, but in winter they spent several hours each day resting on the sea surface. This resting was most frequent around midday and least frequent in early mornings and late afternoons. Night-time immersion varied widely among individuals but terns wintering in eastern Brazil were less likely to spend the night on the sea surface than those wintering on the north coast of South America. We suggest that this reflected the availability of dry-land roosting sites.

Aims To analyse ectoparasite abundance relative to nest box design (old wooden nest boxes present for over 2 years versus new wooden nest boxes of the same dimensions vs deep wooden nest boxes designed to reduce predation risk) and bird species (Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus, Great Tit Parus major, Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca and Eurasian Nuthatch Sitta europaea). The potential influence of amount of nesting material and nest composition was also studied. Methods After fledging, nests were collected from nest boxes. Ectoparasites and nest materials were identified and quantified. Generalized linear modelling was used to examine the influence of nest box design, bird species, amount of nest material and nest composition on ectoparasite loads. Akaike’s Information Criterion was used to select optimal models. Results Abundance of Hen Fleas Ceratophyllus gallinae and parasitic Blowfly Protocalliphora was significantly higher for deep nest boxes than nest boxes of standard dimensions. Old nest boxes had significantly higher loads than new nest boxes, despite thorough cleaning between breeding seasons. Hen Flea abundance was highest in Eurasian Nuthatch nests. Blowfly abundance was highest in Pied Flycatcher nests. Abundances of both fleas and blowfly were positively related to nest mass and amount of animal hair in the nest, and, for parasitic Blowfly, were negatively related to the amount of tree bark. Conclusion Ectoparasite load depends not only on bird species but also nest box design and nesting material. We recommend: (1) nest boxes are regularly replaced to reduce parasite load; (2) deep nest boxes are not used as the large nests constructed not only remove anti-predator benefits of eggs/chicks being harder to reach but are also associated with high haematophagous ectoparasite loads.","PeriodicalId":55353,"journal":{"name":"Bird Study","volume":"70 1","pages":"25 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46611032","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}

Methods GPS tracking data were collected between 2016 and 2019 from 36 Lesser Black-backed Gulls breeding in a declining colony in the UK with several operational OWFs nearby.

Results Individuals predominantly used terrestrial areas. Less than 1.25% of the overall breeding season time budgets were spent offshore across years, and offshore use and time within OWFs did not vary significantly between years. However, home range sizes and foraging trip metrics did vary significantly across all time scales and individual variation was significant. Conclusion Our results suggested that there was little change in the relative use of offshore areas over time and thus in the macro-scale response of Lesser Black-backed Gulls to the OWFs, one of which was under construction during the period of study.

Methods Using Argos satellite telemetry, we tracked four individuals at neighbouring urban colonies at Gravina and Altamura (Apulia region), within the geographical area (Alta Murgia) which has the world’s highest known density of urban nesting Lesser Kestrels. Results Argos devices provided 4930 high-quality locations for 72 ± 13 (mean ± SD) days for four individuals tracked during July–September. July corresponded to the post-nestling period, with recorded dispersal distances less than 66 km from the breeding site. At the beginning of August, the birds entered the pre-migration period, with recorded dispersal distances up to 667 km from the colony. We detected four dispersal strategies: absolute fidelity to the breeding site, and short-range, mid-range, and long-range dispersal. The males had long-range and mid-range dispersal routes parallel to the eastern side of the Apennine ridge, and selected several stopover sites in central and northern Italy. The females showed absolute fidelity to the breeding site and short-range dispersal. We hypothesize that males and females had different body conditions at the beginning of the pre-migration period, which forced females to remain close to the breeding site while males could disperse further.
