Migration and daily flight activity patterns in the barred warbler Curruca nisoria over the annual cycle

Original language description

The barred warbler, Curruca nisoria, is an Afro-Palearctic migrating bird with a wide breeding distribution across eastern Europe to central Asia. Ring recoveries and direct observations have suggested they migrate to non-breeding grounds in East Africa. However, little is known about their migration routes and flight behaviour during migration and on the non-breeding grounds. Using geolocators and multi-sensor loggers, we tracked three barred warblers from a Czech breeding site to document their migration routes, stopover and non-breeding sites, and flight activity patterns across the annual cycle. All three tracked birds took south-eastern autumn migration routes through the Levant, with a shared stopover in Syria before crossing the Arabian Desert, the Red Sea and eastern Sahara Desert and stopping in Sudan for ca. two months. After 109 days (average), birds arrived at their main non-breeding sites of W Kenya or S Ethiopia. A single stopover on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia was used during the spring migration before continuing NW across the Mediterranean. Pressure and acceleration data showed that warblers migrated exclusively at night, with the longest flights crossing the Sahara and travelling from Sudan to non-breeding sites. Daily diurnal activity patterns were uniform across all stationary sites.
