Aron Tanti

A common warbler found around the Mediterranean (Shirihai et al. 2001). First record in Russia in 2010, suggesting N colonization (Bulyuk & Leoke 2010). Mostly resident, though some populations are partly migratory and winter in N Africa (Shirihai et al. 2001). Insectivorous, though its diet has a high proportion of fruit (mostly berries), especially in the non-breeding period.

Connectivité globale pour Fauvette mélanocéphale

Data are from Mediterranean countries, mainly Spain and Italy. Encounters show random dispersal (mainly at <500 km), rather than true migration. There are exceptional long-distance recoveries in SW Palearctic/W Africa (Canary archipelago, Ghana) and in Cyprus. Several records in winter S of the Sahara, suggest that at least some birds are trans-Saharan migrants (Pearson & Lack 1992). 

Contrôles par Condition for Fauvette mélanocéphale

There are no recoveries before 1961. Between 1961 and 1990, 76% of recoveries were recaptures by ringers, while <2% were shot. Since 1991, 99% of the recoveries are from birds recaptured alive by ringers.

Annual Movements for Fauvette mélanocéphale

There are encounters in every month of the year and throughout the range. Post-breeding dispersal starts late Aug and winter quarters in S Algerian Sahara are reached in Oct (Shirihai et al. 2001). The migratory birds retun to their breeding areas from late Feb to Apr (HBW).
