Palaearctic finch with nine subspecies with Eurasian distribution (BirdLife International 2021). Migratory behavior ranges from resident to partial migrant or migrant. Movements within Europe, often promoted by food shortage as irruptions, variable among years, rather than true periodic migrations (Fox et al. 2009).

Conectividad global para Camachuelo común

A remarkable fraction of recoveries show random displacements from ringing area, probably reflecting in these cases local/short-range dispersal, rather than true migrations. Over 50% of mapped data correspond to ring-recovery data from N Europe. N and E European bullfinches move S (from SW to SE) to overwinter S of their breeding range (Clement 2010). N Scandinavian birds show many recoveries in S Scandinavia and the circum-Baltic area. A recovery from N Kazakhstan in C Europe. Longer-distance recoveries from C European populations mostly across a NE-SW axis, exceptionally reaching SW Europe (Portugal). W/NW populations mostly show short-range movements.

Recuperaciones por condición para Camachuelo común

Overall, most recoveries obtained through ringing (82%). Before 1960, a remarkable proportion of recovery data (43%) were due to recoveries of birds found dead, sick or wounded, with also a small (10%) proportion of dead recoveries by shot. The proportion of dead recoveries has decreased greatly with time, so that from 1991 to present these comprise less than 5%.

Movimientos anuales para Camachuelo común

Movements to S normally from Oct to Nov. Within-winter displacements also possible, normally caused by food shortage and bad weather such as heavy snow falls, which can give rise to scape movements (Meller et al. 2016). Return to breeding quarters in Mar-Apr. (Clement 2010).

Conectividad por mes por región para Camachuelo común

Distances travelled tend to increase with increasing breeding latitude or longitude. Thus, bullfinches from S, W and NW Europe mostly resident, with most recoveries being short-range local dispersal. Birds from N and E Europe can reach wintering areas over a broad range from W/SW Europe to E/SE Europe, with these recoveries being obtained mostly from Oct to Mar.
