Le Phragmite aquatique Acrocephalus paludicola est le seul passériforme mondialement menacé nichant en Europe continentale. La localisation des sites de stationnement et quartiers d’hivernage en Afrique s’avère essentielle à la conservation de l’espèce mais est gênée par le manque de connaissances de cette espèce rare de la part des observateurs. L’auteur présente probablement les premières photos de l’espèce dans son habitat naturel en Afrique de l’Ouest et décrit les critères d’identification principaux, surtout par rapport au Phragmite des joncs A. schoenobaenus.

KROGULEC: Habitat selection of Aquatic Warbler in Poland Habitat selection of Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola in Poland: consequences for conservation of the breeding areas Janusz Kloskowski & Jaroslaw Krogulec Kloskowski, J. & J. Krogulec 1999: Habitat selection of Aquatic Warbler Acrocepha- lus paludicola in Poland: consequences for conservation of the breeding areas. Vogel- welt 120: 113 – 120. In parallel to the countrywide census of Aquatic Warblers Acrocephalus paludicola in Poland in 1997, data on breeding habitat characteristics were collected. Using multivariate statistics, the habitat features could be ordered along two gradients: from open areas with rare, coarse- grained patches of shrubs to those dominated by scattered shrubs, and from flat grass fen with shallow water to distinctly tufty, deeper flooded, and reed-dominated areas. These two gra- dients generally correspond to two successional processes in wetlands occupied by Aquatic Warblers: (a) colonisation by shrubs due to lowering of the water table and abandonment of agricultural use, and (b) invasion of reed associations in the vicinity of drainage channels. Densities of singing Aquatic Warbler M were negatively correlated with the first gradient, but there was no significant relationship with the second. Reed associations are inhabited by Aquatic Warblers in Western Pommerania, where reeds are harvested every year, whereas singing M were only occasionally recorded in this habitat in other parts of Poland, where no industrial reed exploitation occurs. Areas occupied by Aquatic Warbler and unoccupied, closely associated habitats differed with regard to both gradients. This indicates that breeding habitat suitability may be the most important factor limiting Aquatic Warbler populations.
  • Migration and Conservation of the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus Paludicola in Spain

    Migration and Conservation of the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus Paludicola in Spain

    Ardeola 48(2), 2001, 197-208 MIGRATION AND CONSERVATION OF THE AQUATIC WARBLER ACROCEPHALUS PALUDICOLA IN SPAIN Juan Carlos ATIENZA*1, Jesús PINILLA* & Jorge H. JUSTRIBÓ* SUMMARY.—Migration and conservation of the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola in Spain. We have studied the migration routes and phenology of the Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola throughout Spain by means of ringing and published observation data. The species’ migration routes between breeding and winter quarters, both in spring and autumn, regularly take place through Spain. In the present study, two main coastal routes are described: the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. A third one, along the Ebro valley, seems to link the other two. Prenuptial passage, more easterly on average, takes place from early March to late April, though 87% of the records are from April. Postnuptial passage takes place from early August to late Oc- tober, though 85% of the records are concentrated between 11 August and 29 September. In Spain, the species seems to use a low number of localities as stopover migration sites. We propose the adoption of effective pro- tection measures for those areas that currently lack them. We also suggest the change of the species’ conser- vation status in the National Endangered Species Catalogue. Key words: Acrocephalus paludicola, Aquatic Warbler, conservation, migratory routes, phenology, Spain. RESUMEN.—Migración y conservación del Carricerín Cejudo Acrocephalus paludicola en España. Las rutas migratorias y la fenología de paso del Carricerín Cejudo Acrocephalus paludicola por España han sido determinadas mediante datos de anillamiento y observaciones de campo publicadas. Esta especie transita re- gularmente por territorio español entre sus cuarteles de invernada en África y los lugares de nidificación, tan- to en su migración prenupcial como en la postnupcial.
