Medium-sized waterbird, introduced from Africa into England in 17th century, from where spread to W Europe. Established breeding populations in Great Britain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, SW Sweden and Poland. European population at least 26,000 breeding pairs (Gyimesi & Lensink 2012). Resident, but dispersive after breeding season and undertakes moult migrations. Long breeding season, breeding success high in Europe but not England (Lensink 1999). Diet grass and other plants, crops. Occurs anywhere near water, nests on ground or in cavities, uses other birds’ nests.

A long-distance migratory dove breeding from England and Wales to the Urals, Kazakhstan, the Middle East and N Africa, but absent from the N. The nominate subspecies occurs across Europe, ssp. arenicola from Morocco to Iran, maybe the Balearic islands; and ssp. rufescens in deserts in Libya and Egypt. Winters across the Sahel. Strongly declining for decades, with an almost 80% reduction in the European breeding populations over the last 40 years.

Smallest goose species breeding circumpolar at very high latitudes on open tundra. Wintering habitat marine, feeding on eelgrass beds and algae in tidal areas and on coastal grasslands and salt marshes. Two taxa exist in Europe, dark-bellied brent bernicla breeding in northern Siberia and wintering in Western Europe, and white-bellied brent hrota breeding on Western Greenland and Canada and wintering in (Northern) Ireland, and breeding on Svalbard and wintering mainly in Denmark. Breeding output cyclic, with high numbers of offspring during lemming peak. Cycle less obvious in recent years.

Aron Tanti

A raptor widely distributed across much of the Old World, including Oceania (BirdLife International 2021). Migratory strategies vary from resident to migratory. European black kites overwinter in tropical Africa across the Sahelian belt up to S Africa. An increasing number of birds overwinter in S Europe [e.g. Morganti & Pulido 2012Literak et al. 2017).
