    Wallcreeper and The Camargue Naturetrek Tour Report 19 – 23 November 2018 Firecrest Western Swamphen Stripeless Tree Frog Spoonbill Report compiled by Matt Collis Images courtesy of Neil McMahon Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Wallcreepers and The Camargue Tour participants: Matt Collis & Neil McMahon (leaders) with 16 Naturetrek clients Summary A short birding trip to the very special Camargue district of southern France provides an excellent opportunity to experience good views of typical waterbirds of the west Mediterranean. Utilising a family-run hotel on the outskirts of the ancient city of Arles as our base, the itinerary provided an easy opportunity to look for flamingoes, herons and wading birds using the shallow waters and reed-fringed lagoons as a breeding area or a suitable stop-over for migrants. The mountainous areas attract different and more localized species and we located special birds such as Wallcreeper, Rock Sparrow and Booted Eagle, together with a selection of other stunning species that call the Camargue home. Day 1 Monday 19th November Arriving in the early evening, leaders Neil and Matt met 15 of the 16 clients at Marseille airport, before collecting the minibuses and beginning the journey to the hotel. French protests and road blocks meant the route was more cross country but after just over an hour or so we arrived at our destination, Hotel des Granges. We were greeted by Bruno and Marie-Jo, our wonderful hosts and owners of this classically French Hotel, and a lone Black Redstart, the first bird for our trip, sat roosting over the entrance porch.

Annual cycles vary in Organisms need to time their annual-cycle stages, like breeding and complexity in a species-specific way: from simple breeding/non- migration, to occur at the right time of the year. Climate change has breeding transitions to the inclusion of other energetically demanding shifted the timing of annual-cycle stages at different rates, thereby stages like migration or moult (Wingfield, 2008). As the total time tightening or lifting time constraints of these annual-cycle stages, a available for the allocation of these seasonal stages is 1 year, more rarely studied consequence of climate change. The degree to which complex annual cycles will necessarily involve a concomitant increase these constraints are affected by climate change depends on whether in time constraints. This is especially true if these different stages are consecutive stages are causally linked (scenario I) or whether the all energetically demanding and need to be temporally segregated timing of each stage is independent of other stages (scenario II). (Dietz et al., 2013). Complex annual cycles would thus result in low Under scenario I, a change in timing in one stage has knock-on timing flexibility as further shortening or overlapping stages would lead to effects on subsequent stages, whereas under scenario II, a shift in the fitness costs (Jacobs and Wingfield, 2000; Wingfield, 2008).

    Phoenicurus ochruros -- (Gmelin, 1774) ANIMALIA -- CHORDATA -- AVES -- PASSERIFORMES -- MUSCICAPIDAE Common names: Black Redstart; Rougequeue noir European Red List Assessment European Red List Status LC -- Least Concern, (IUCN version 3.1) Assessment Information Year published: 2015 Date assessed: 2015-03-31 Assessor(s): BirdLife International Reviewer(s): Symes, A. Compiler(s): Ashpole, J., Burfield, I., Ieronymidou, C., Pople, R., Wheatley, H. & Wright, L. Assessment Rationale European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) EU27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) At both European and EU27 scales this species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern within both Europe and the EU27. Occurrence Countries/Territories of Occurrence Native: Albania; Andorra; Armenia; Austria; Azerbaijan; Belarus; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Czech Republic; Denmark; Estonia; Finland; France; Georgia; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Ireland, Rep. of; Italy; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of; Malta; Moldova; Montenegro; Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Russian Federation; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Canary Is.

  • Spring Weights of Some Palaearctic Passer- Ines in Ethiopia and Kenya: Evidence for Important Migration Staging Areas in Eastern Ethiopia
    Scopus 33: 45–52, January 2014 Spring weights of some Palaearctic passer- ines in Ethiopia and Kenya: evidence for important migration staging areas in eastern Ethiopia David Pearson, Herbert Biebach, Gerhard Nikolaus and Elizabeth Yohannes Summary Palaearctic migrants were trapped in late April and early May at a passage site near Jijiga in eastern Ethiopia. Willow Warblers Phylloscopus trochilus and Spotted Flycatchers Muscicapa striata were predominant, while Red-backed Shrikes Lanius collurio, Sedge Warblers Acrocephalus schoenobaenus, Reed Warblers A. scirpaceus, Garden Warblers Sylvia borin and Common Whitethroats S. communis also featured prominently. Weights were high in all species, and over 70% of the birds caught were extremely fat. Spring weights and fat scores at Jijiga were compared with those found in the same species in Kenya, and the difference was striking. In Kenya, most species had mean spring weights 10–20% above lean weight; at Jijiga, species’ mean weights ranged from 30% to 55% above lean weight. Whereas the reserves of most migrants departing from Kenya would have supported flights only as far as Ethiopia, the fat loads of birds at Jijiga indicated a potential for crossing Arabia with little need to feed. This suggests important staging and fattening grounds between these two areas, perhaps in the Acacia–Commiphora bushlands drained by the upper Juba and Shebelle rivers and their tributaries. Introduction Each year hundreds of millions of migrant passerines must set off from the Horn of Africa in April and early May on a crossing of the Arabian Peninsula (Moreau 1972). These are bound ultimately for Palaearctic breeding grounds distributed from Western Europe to Siberia and central Asia.

  • Breeding of the Black Redstart in Britain a Century-Old Record by George W
    (110) BREEDING OF THE BLACK REDSTART IN BRITAIN A CENTURY-OLD RECORD BY GEORGE W. TEMPERLEY. IN 1916, seven years before T. A. Coward found the Black Redstart (Phcenicurus ochrurus gibraltariensis) breeding on the Sussex coast and so established what was then thought to be the first British record, F. C. R. Jourdain wrote an article in The Zoologist on the status of the Black Redstart in England as a breeding species. In that article he reviewed every alleged instance of breeding that had been reported up to that date and showed that in every such case an error in identification had been made—" with the possible exception of Hancock's .... which however requires confirmation before it can possibly be accepted." Hancock's record here referred to was published in 1874 in his Catalogue of the Birds of Northumber­ land and Durham and reads as follows :—" In 1845, a pair [of Black Redstarts] nested in the garden of the late Rev. James Raine, the historian of Durham, in that City; and I am indebted to Mr. Wm. Proctor for their nest, which is now in my collection. An egg belonging to it was kindly presented to me by the Rev. James Raine, son of the above named gentleman." William Proctor, who gave the nest to Hancock, was the curatOr- taxidermist of Durham University Museum. He had already published the record himself, for in a " List of Birds found in the County," published as an Appendix to the Rev. G. Ornsby's Sketches of Durham, in 1846, he had written thus of the Black Redstart— " Very rare ; a nest with five eggs was taken near Crook Hall in the summer of 1845." It will be noted that this was written just one year after the event and twenty-eight years before the publica­ tion of Hancock's " Catalogue." Additional details of the occurrence are to be found in a chapter by Canon H.
