Red Kites wintering in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia: GPS tracking and direct field observations over 2020/2021
Original language description
The Red Kite (Milvus milvus) is a common raptor in the tripoint border area of Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia during the non-breeding season; however, the exact number of birds wintering in this area remains unknown. Using satellite telemetry, direct field censuses at nocturnal roosts and online avian platforms, we estimated the wintering population of Red Kites in this area over the winter of 2020/2021. Based on three censuses taking place at the beginning (28 November 2020), middle (9 January 2021) and end (5 February 2021) of winter, we counted 567, 560 and 537 Red Kites, respectively. A comparison of historical data and our own results suggests that the wintering population of Red Kites in the study area has increased substantially, most likely due to changes in climatic conditions and food availability and increased conservation efforts for endangered raptors.
