  • Are Tits Really Unsuitable Hosts for the Common Cuckoo?
    Ornis Fennica 91:0000. 2014 Are tits really unsuitable hosts for the Common Cuckoo? Tomá Grim*, Peter Sama, Petr Procházka & Jarkko Rutila T. Grim & P. Sama, Department of Zoology and Laboratory of Ornithology, Palacký University, 17. listopadu 50, CZ-77146 Olomouc, Czech Republic. * Corresponding au- thors e-mail: [email protected] P. Procházka, Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Repub- lic, v. v. i., Kvìtná 8, CZ-60365 Brno, Czech Republic J. Rutila, Kannelkatu 5 as 26, 53100 Lappeenranta, Finland Received 19 January 2014, accepted 18 March 2014 Avian brood parasites exploit hosts that have accessible nests and a soft insect diet. Com- mon Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) hosts were traditionally classified as suitable if both pa- rameters were fulfilled or unsuitable if one, or both, were not. In line with this view, hole- nesting tits (Paridae) have become a text-book example of unsuitable Cuckoo hosts. Our extensive literature search for Cuckoo eggs hatched and chicks raised by hosts revealed 16 Cuckoo nestlings in Great Tit (Parus major) nests, 2 nestlings and 2 fledglings in Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), and 1 nestling in a Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus)nest. Our own data from natural observations and cross-fostering experiments concur with lit- erature data that Great Tits are able to rear Cuckoo chicks to fledging. The natural obser- vations involve the first known cases where a bird species became parasitized as a by- product of nest usurpation (take-over). Surprisingly, Cuckoo chicks raised by Great Tits grew better than Cuckoo chicks raised by common hosts, even alongside host own chicks.

  • Irish Rare Bird Report 2014
    Irish Rare Bird Report 2014 M. Carmody and J. Hobbs (on behalf of the Irish Rare Birds Committee) BirdWatch Ireland, Unit 20, Block D, Bullford Business Campus, Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow Introduction Palearctic away from the Azores. Ireland’s second Pacific Diver Gavia pacifica (Galway) and third Sardinian Warbler Sylvia The year under review was the classic year of two halves. The melanocephala (Cork) were recorded in April and the fourth first half was one of the most exciting starts to a year in recent records of Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus (Mayo) and times, whereas the latter half was far more pedestrian. In line American Coot Fulica americana (Kerry) were recorded in with that, both additions to the Irish list in 2014 were during October and November respectively. Also, this report contains the first six months, with an American Purple Gallinule details of the second Little Swift Apus affinis from Wexford in Porphyrio martinicus found dead in Mayo and, less than a May 2002 and the fourth Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia week later, a Slaty-backed Gull Larus schistisagus in Galway, from Cork in October 2013. Significant records of sub-species both of these in February. Undoubtedly, though, the most in the report are of the first Eastern Subalpine Warbler Sylvia significant record of the year was a Bermuda Petrel cantillans albistriata from Mayo in 2007 and the first Yellow Pterodroma cahow , which is categorised as an ‘At sea’ record as it was observed some 170 nautical miles west of Ireland, a location that lies outside the boundary of the Irish List.

For some time the theory has been advancedthat this bird usesits wingsalternately and a recent contributor to 'The Auk' went so far as to refer to this as "a well known fact." Mr. We•tover being in doubt spent much time and energyin attempting to securemotion picturesof the bird in flight and finally succeeded. His 2lm•, shown at the American Museum in "slow motion," demonstratedthat both wings were used simultaneouslyjust as in other birds, the apparent alternatingbeats being purely an optical delusion.

Status and diet of the European Shag (Mediterranean subspecies) Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii in the Libyan Sea (south Crete) during the breeding season. Marine Ornithology 45: 1–9. During 2010–2012 we collected data on the population status and ecology of the European Shag (Mediterranean subspecies) Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii on Gavdos Island (south Crete), conducting boat-based surveys, nest monitoring, and diet analysis. The species’ population was estimated at 80–110 pairs, with 59% breeding success and 1.6 fledglings per successful nest. Pellet morphological and genetic analysis of otoliths and fish bones, respectively, showed that the shags’ diet consisted of 31 species. A total of 4 223 otoliths were identified to species level; 47.2% belonged to sand smelts Atherina boyeri, 14.2% to bogues Boops boops, 11.3% to picarels Spicara smaris, and 10.5% to damselfishes Chromis chromis.

  • Ussher Bird Notes Royal Irish Academy: Special List / Liosta
    Ussher Bird Notes Royal Irish Academy: Special list / Liosta speisialta: A009 RICHARD JOHN USSHER, MRIA, (1841-1913) was a speleologist, ornithologist and the main author of Ussher & Warren, The Birds of Ireland, Dublin and London, 1900. Ussher was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy in 1906. He bequeathed his books, papers and correspondence on natural history, cave exploration, and antiquities to the Academy. The collection known as the Ussher Bird Notes consists of Ussher’s notes and correspondence relating to the various species of bird recorded in Ireland. The original calendar of the collection, compiled by P. Cuffe in 1960-61, was prepared for the web by Mr. Karl Vogelsang of the Academy library in November/December 2003. In the course of checking the names of the genera and species recorded by Ussher, Mr. Vogelsang noted that some names had been altered in the modern reference books on Irish birds. With the assistance of Mr. Eric Callaghan, Department of Zoology, University College Dublin, the currently accepted nomenclature was applied. Thus, the calendar now reflects both the current nomenclature and the superseded terms as used by Ussher. We hope that the listing will be of use to those who may need to access the Bird Notes. The original calendar has been filed with Ussher’s papers. Siobhán Fitzpatrick, Librarian, 23/12/2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: We wish to acknowledge the generous assistance of Mr. Eric Callaghan, Department of Zoology, U.C.D.; of Dr. Julia Sigwart, U.C.D., and of Dr. Nigel Monaghan, Curator, The Museum of Natural History, in revising the calendar.
