  • Lesser Spotted Eagle

    Lesser Spotted Eagle

    Accipitridae: vultures, kites, hawks, eagles, buzzards and harriers 181 Lesser Spotted Eagle 14˚ Gevlekte Arend LESSER SPOTTED EAGLE Aquila pomarina 1 5 This Palearctic migrant from eastern Europe and 18˚ Russia occurs in southern Africa from late Octo- ber (mostly late November) to March. When perched it is essentially a bulky version of Wahl- berg’s Eagle A. wahlbergi in appearance, with a 22˚ pale eye and, in juveniles, white in the tail and 6 wings. The thin leggings and the downward-bent 2 primaries in flight distinguish this from other Aquila species (Brooke et al. 1972), but from a 26˚ distance its silhouette in soaring flight can be con- fused with that of the Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus. It is perhaps most frequently recorded in the Kruger National Park and the Moremi Game 7 3 30˚ Reserve and Chobe National Park of northern Botswana, where it consorts with migrant Steppe Eagles A. nipalensis. It is usually recorded in woodland regions 4 8 where rainfall exceeds 600 mm. It occurs in lower 34˚ numbers than the Steppe Eagle, in the ratio of 1:5 18˚ 22˚ 26˚ in the Transvaal (Tarboton & Allan 1984). It is 10˚ 14˚ 30˚ 34˚ often seen singly or in small flocks (Steyn 1982b); a flock of at least 250 birds was reported from along the Khwai River (1923B) (Van den Brink et al. 1994). In January 1993, average linear densities from road counts in the Moremi Recorded in 250 grid cells, 5.5% region reached 1 bird/950 m (M. Herremans unpubl. data). Total number of records: 522 Like the Steppe Eagle, it is attracted to the emergence of Mean reporting rate for range: 3.4% termite alates following good rains, and also to Redbilled Quelea Quelea quelea breeding colonies.

    Raptor Journal 2020, 14: 73 – 76. DOI: 10.2478/srj-2020-0006 © Raptor Protection of Slovakia (RPS) Age of maturity and exceptionally distant natal dispersal of over 500 km by a male lesser spotted eagle Clanga pomarina Vek dospelosti samca orla krikľavého Clanga pomarina a jeho mimoriadne veľký, viac ako 500 km, hniezdny rozptyl Bernd-Ulrich MEYBURG, Hinrich MATTHES & Grzegorz Maciorowski Abstract: According to previous studies using colour rings, lesser spotted eagles Clanga pomarina have established breeding ter- ritories up to 249 km from their natal site. A colour-ringed lesser spotted eagle nestling from NE Poland settled 540 km further west in NE Germany. This male was discovered at the age of six and nested there for several years. This fi nding is all the more remark- able because the bird was a male, which in large eagles typically settle nearer to their natal sites than females. They apparently reproduce successfully for the fi rst time later than females, normally at the age of fi ve. Abstrakt: Na základe predchádzajúcich štúdií využívajúcich značenie farebnými krúžkami je známe, že orly krikľavé Clanga pomarina obsadzujú hniezdne teritóriá do vzdialenosti 249 km od hniezda, kde sa vyliahli. Farebne označený orol krikľavý vyli- ahnutý v SV Poľsku obsadil teritórium 540 km na západe v SV Nemecku. Tento samec bol objavený vo veku šiestich rokov a na tom mieste hniezdil už viacero rokov. Toto zistenie je o to zaujímavejšie, že sa jedná o samca, pretože samce veľkých orlov sa obyčajne usadzujú bližšie k miestu ich vyliahnutia, než samice. Okrem toho sa samce zjavne prvýkrát rozmnožujú neskôr než samice, obyčajne vo veku piatich rokov.

    Studies of Less Familiar Birds Ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U

    Studies of less familiar birds ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U. Meyburg Plates 61-64. Of all European eagles, the Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina has the smallest world breeding range, the nominate race being confined to eastern parts of Germany, Poland, eastern Czechoslovakia, Hun­ gary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, north-east Greece, western Turkey (Thrace), and the Soviet Union north to Leningrad and east to about 35°E. There are no published records of proved breeding in eastern Austria this century, though pairs from Hungary hunt over the land around Lake Neusiedl. There is no clear information on the current position in the Caucasus and the south Caspian lowlands. In Germany the breeding area stretches only to the north of Berlin, westwards beyond the rivers Oder and Neisse but stopping short of the Elbe. In 1969 there were 53 known broods in this area, and possibly a further nine (H. Weber in Glutz von Blotzheim et al. 1971). Even at the beginning of this century, the breeding range extended much further westwards, at least as far as the River Weser in Niedersachsen. A second subspecies, A. p. hastata, breeds in parts of India, in particular the Ganges Valley and West Bengal, and also in Bangla Desh. Hardly anything is known about this form, which appears to be rare. The first autumn plumage is said to be quite different from that of the nominate race, which has led some authors to treat it as a separate species. The Lesser Spotted Eagle presents a very difficult problem to field and museum ornithologists alike—the clear differentiation between it and the very closely related Spotted Eagle A.

  • Breeding Farmland Birds and the Role of Habitats Created Under Agri-Environment Schemes

    Breeding Farmland Birds and the Role of Habitats Created Under Agri-Environment Schemes

    Breeding farmland birds and the role of habitats created under agri-environment schemes Niamh M. McHugh Department of Life Sciences Imperial College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy rd 23 of April, 2015 Abstract In this thesis, I aim to assess how farmland birds use insect-rich agri-environment scheme (AES) foraging habitats during the breeding season and how such birds might benefit from them. It is particularly focused on how the coverage and quality (measured by insect food levels and food accessibility) of AES habitats influence territory selection, foraging activities and breeding success. The thesis begins by explaining why farmland birds have declined, reviewing how AES may help reverse these trends, along with outlining why AES may fail to benefit breeding birds (Chapter one). I then investigated whether the addition of wildflowers to AES margins, boundary type, crop type, chick food availability or accessibility influenced the foraging activity of insectivores, mixed diet species and the passerine community in general (Chapter two). Next, I wanted to find out if territory selection by a declining farmland bird the yellowhammer Emberiza citronella related to the quantity of AES habitat available; models also accounted for chick food abundance, landscape diversity and nest site features (Chapter three). Subsequently I investigated how the availability of AES can affect chick diet and survival using the Eurasian tree sparrow Passer monatus as a focus species. I compared the abundance and diversity of tree sparrow chick food items between nest boxes with and without access to AES habitats aimed at foraging birds (Chapter four).
