Connectivité globale pour Rossignol progné

Few recoveries in E Africa, though the few existing ones fit with the distribution range known for the species (BirdLife International 2021). Migratory axis NW-SE. Only an exceptional recovery of a bird ringed in Denmark, recaptured in Spain. Most recoveries come from ringing carried out around the Baltic region, in S Scandinavia or S Finland. Recoveries N of the Sahara are mostly concentrated in a region N of the Balcans and, then, in the E Mediterranean coasts, mostly in N Egypt, to a lesser extent Israel (see also for details Fransson et al. 2005). Substantial refuel before crossing the Sahara is considered to happen in N Egypt (Fransson et al. 2005). Geolocators reveal three consecutive sites used after the Sahara crossing (Stach et al. 2012), in Sudan, Kenya and, finally, Mozambique. Distance to winter sites can reach up to 10000 km (geolocators show a mean distance of ca. 8500 km for the autumn migration) (Stach et al. 2012).
