  • The Origin Oflapwings Vanellus Vanellus and Golden Plovers
    Ornis Fennica 81 :49-64. 2004 The origin of Lapwings Vanellus vanellus and Golden Plovers Pluvialis apricaria wintering in Portugal Domingos Leitão & Salvador Peris Leitão, D., Centro deBiología Ambiental, Departamento de BiologíaAnimal, Faculdade de Ciéncias da Universidade de Lisboa, Edificio C2, Campo Grande, 1700 Lisboa, Por- tugal. Present address: Sociedade Portuguesa para o Estudo das Aves, Rua da Vitória, 53, 3~Esq, 1100-618 Lisboa, Portugal, e-mail: [email protected] Peris, S., Departamento de Biología Animal, Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Salamanca, E-37071, Salamanca, Spain Received 2 December 2003, accepted 22 March 2004 Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) and Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) ring recoveries in Portugal were compared in order to search for trends in their origin, to analyse the rela- tionship between cold weather and the wintering population, and to discuss the age pat- tern of the birds. Most Lapwings wintering in Portugal come from the British Isles, the Netherlands, Southern ScandinavianPeninsula and Denmark, and Germany. Golden Plo- vers come from all breeding range, a vast region extending from Iceland to Siberia. Colder temperatures in mid-Winter in Northwest Europe bring more birds ofboth species to Por- tugal. After the late 1960s and during 1970s, a systematic decrease occurred inthe Recov- ery Index ofLapwing andGolden Plover coming from several countries in North-western Europe . In the 1980s this trend persisted for birds coming from Scandinavian countries and was inverted for more southern countries. Changes in winter weather could be the most important factor determining these patterns. When winters are mild thebirds may be able to remain longer in northern and eastern areas that have previously been unsuitable.

  • Do Northern Lapwings Vanellus Vanellus and Little Ringed Plovers Charadrius Dubius Rely on Egg Crypsis During Incubation?
    Folia Zool. – 55(1): 43–51 (2006) Do northern lapwings Vanellus vanellus and little ringed plovers Charadrius dubius rely on egg crypsis during incubation? Miroslav ŠÁLEK1 and Eva CEPÁKOVÁ2 1 Department of Ecology and Environment, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, Czech Agricultural University, Kamýcká 129, CZ-165 21 Praha 6, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection, Kališnická 4–6, CZ-130 23 Praha 3, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Received 13 June 2005; Accepted 19 January 2006 A b s t r a c t . We studied the possible role of clutch crypsis in antipredator behaviour in two related species of ground-nesting waders with camouflaged eggs, the northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) and the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius). We examined whether this behaviour appears regularly in both species and tested the difference in the use of this trait between the two species. The results suggest that both charadriids rely on egg crypsis as a reasonable strategy toward avian nest predators. However, the larger and more conspicuous lapwings use it less frequently than plovers, probably because they rather rely on body size and aggressiveness combined with colonial breeding. Smaller and solitary little ringed plovers tended to hide the nest location more thoroughly than lapwings, probably due to their limited ability to defend the nest actively. Instead of aggressive attacks, they use alternative behavioural elements intended to deceive predators, namely incubation-feigning. Although egg crypsis is regularly used as a passive strategy for protecting nests against predators in both species, it seems to be unprofitable as an exclusive form of nest protection.

  • Estimates of Waterbird Numbers Wintering in Ireland, 2011/12 – 2015/16
    Estimates of waterbird numbers wintering in Ireland, 2011/12 – 2015/16 Brian Burke 1, Lesley J. Lewis 1, Niamh Fitzgerald 1, Teresa Frost 2, Graham Austin 2, and T. David Tierney 3 1 BirdWatch Ireland, Unit 20, Block D, Bullford Business Campus, Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow. 2 British Trust for Ornithology, The Nunnery, Thetford, Norfolk, IP24 2PU, UK. 3 National Parks & Wildlife Service, Department of Culture, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht, 90 King Street North, Dublin 7. Corresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: Waterbirds, monitoring, population estimates, 1% thresholds Annual monitoring of wintering waterbirds is carried out under the I-WeBS and WeBS schemes in the Republic and Northern Ireland respectively. These surveys are carried out from September to March each year, largely by a dedicated volunteer network, and are the principal tools used in the conser - vation of Ireland’s wintering waterbirds and their wetland habitats. This study presents population estimates and 1% thresholds for wintering waterbirds in Ireland for the period 2011/12 to 2015/16 inclusive. Estimates were generated based on annual peak counts with imputation and include the results of more targeted surveys (i.e. goose and swan species censuses, non-estuarine surveys) where these improve the accuracy of estimates for the species in question. Estimates were generated for a total of 44 waterbird species, using data from 684 wetland sites across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The total number of waterbirds estimated was 757,910, comprising 38% wildfowl (21 species), 6% wildfowl allies (8 species) and 57% waders (15 species). Total numbers have declined by 138,160 (15%) since the 2006/07-2010/11 period, with waders experiencing the largest declines; the combined totals of 15 wader species having declined by over 19%.
