Contrôles par Condition for Pipit maritime/spioncelle

Annual Movements for Pipit maritime/spioncelle

Water Pipit. In Ukraine, the autumn migration peak occurs in the second half of September (Dubovyk et al. 2020). Actively migrating spinoletta ringed in the Czech Republic in September move to the S or SW to winter between Greece and Spain.

Connectivité par mois par région pour Pipit maritime/spioncelle

Water pipits (spinoletta) from South-West and South-Central Europe do not leave their regions in winter. Those from Central Europe are recovered along Mediterranean wintering sites from mid-September to the end of February.

Rock Pipit. North-Western petrosus from the British Isles hardly move to the continent. In the North, littoralis have all returned to the breeding grounds by early May, and the first southward movement are noted in the first decade of September, while the northernmost breeding sites are empty by the end of September. There are however winter recoveries in southern Scandinavia. Wintering sites in the South-West are occupied from October to February.
