Non-breeding sites, loop migration and flight activity patterns over the annual cycle in the Lesser Grey Shrike Lanius minor from a north-western edge of its range

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Lesser Grey Shrike is a typical Palaearctic songbird for which we have limited knowledge of its migration ecology. All that is known about its non-breeding movements is inferred from observational data of birds on passage. The few available ring recovery data do not link breeding and African non-breeding grounds. By deploying two types of loggers, light-level geolocators and multi-sensor loggers, on birds from a declining Slovak breeding population, we present the first direct evidence for non-breeding grounds, loop migration, stopover sites and the timing of annual cycle events. With barometric data, we provide details on flight altitudes during migration. The two tracked birds migrated in a clear anti-clockwise loop to S Africa. Autumn migration tracks went through the Balkan Peninsula, Mediterranean Sea towards Libya with unusually long stays around N Chad and Niger. The next stopovers were in Angola, and the main non-breeding sites were in Botswana. Spring migration commenced on March 29 and April 7 and the birds took routes along East African countries, with stopovers later in Somalia and Saudi Arabia, before crossing the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Nocturnal migration dominated, but for three days in August, while crossing the Sahara Desert, the bird extended flights into the day with a sudden increase in flight altitudes at dawn. Flight altitudes were higher during barrier crossing and during the last phase of spring migration compared to the remaining periods, with the most extreme event recorded at 4530 m asl.
