Gelida BANDING DAY. You are here

December 20th Today I have come to the Station Dam to ring in a cold winter day with the record low temperature of the year with 4 degrees below zero.

The truth is that they wanted too cold but the fact remains that these frigid days are usually quite productive at least in the case of the finches.

I was not mistaken, I had to withdraw with 148 catches for the simple fact of running out of rings and I'm sure that with support, while providing rings and we comfortably exceeded the two hundred birds.

note is the strong presence of finches compared to previous weeks. Low temperatures the past few days seem to have shifted a few copies of the interior highlands to areas near the coast more thermally comfortable.
Significantly greenfinches capture of 96 compared with 10 of the previous day and the capture of 21 new Lugano without banding.

greenfinches's population during the autumn-winter experience a significant increase in effective (at least in the Mediterranean area) by the influx of individuals wintering in the rest of Europe mainly France, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium on the basis of recoveries and used as the main gateway to the peninsula in the Pyrenees Orientales.

Well, from what I have seen to date local copies (with a distinctly sedentary but can also make a shorter distance movements) make quite variable and extensive silent (in the case of juveniles) may even reach the complete change in many copies.
However, the process moves on copies Central migratory patterns seem to follow "book", juvenile and adult VP VC moves with well-defined limits, pointed rectrices, greater coverts retained external, not replaced flight feathers which makes distinguishable from local individuals.

The final outcome of the day catch was 148 distributed as follows:

Serin (Serinus Serinus) 96 (5 controls)
Lugano (carduelis spinus) 50 (29 controls)
Greenfinch (Carduelis clhoris) 1
Chaffinch (F.coelebs) 1 (1 Rec)

..¡¡¡ Lugano AGAIN! Owls

Indeed the Lugano are here again.
In the last 5 winters have been allowed to see 4 of them and I believe this is something quite unusual in these latitudes.
I have spent many years observing the migratory behavior of these birds and do not remember anything like it. The raids followed one another more slowly over time (up to 3 years apart.)

Here at banding station Dam (Manises) we banded over 3000 during the last years and this winter in just three days we have ringed over 100 copies which is bringing us valuable information.
That if both last winter and this step is being relatively quiet compared to other years (winters of 05/06 and 07/08) and include the high percentage of recoveries. By the way including a juvenile 3 with Italian forwards. It is fascinating to see how
ringed Lugano in 2005 and subsequent raids that have left do not appear suddenly in the winter of 2009.
These recoveries are produced gradual, and throughout the winter are coming specimens ringed in previous years almost to the beginning of March.
I detailed the last day at the station the day 12.06.2009 Dam:

Lugano (Carduelis spinus) 33 (2 Rec.otros years + 7 controls).
chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) 23
Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) 7
Sardinian warbler (Sylvia melanocephala) 2
Robin (Erithacus rubecula) 1
Serin (Serinus Serinus) 10 (2 Rec)

I put 2 photos.


Any doubt about the age?


determine the age of this guy is great for beginners because it illustrates very well the molting process permitendo clearly see the boundaries.

BETWEEN WASTE!

On Tuesday December 8 Albufera banding group held another day of ringing in the municipality of Quart Poblet, in an area near the plant Fervasa waste. The day lasted from 13:30 to 20:15 and it was banded a total of 16 birds of 5 species.

• common Nets 11 (Phylloscopus collybita)
• 1 Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)
• 1 Blackbird (Turdus merula)
• 1 Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
2
• common Owl (Athene noctua)

banding Among these were two very interesting recaptures :

chiffchaff presenting a ring: HJ5520 and age was determined as 4
A common owl was ringed with ring 5049127 for himself banding group on 14/4/2007 as age 5 with what today would be a 9. Unfortunately it proved impossible to photograph in this issue but will try to recapture it in future occasions to study best adult plumage of this species.

the moment a few pictures of these small Strigiformes we rejoiced the day:

IVERNAL DAY IN THE VINEYARDS OF LA MANCHA! Banding

This Weekend Banding weeks Albufera The group has performed a session of ringing in the vineyards of Castilla La Mancha. In the municipality of Puerto Lápice. It must be said that the journey has not been nothing productive due to weather conditions.
The morning dawned with a thick wet fog that all because of this the greatest catch of birds in the early hours of the morning was not possible and start banding tube approximately about 11: 30 in the morning when the fog began to clear. The result was satisfactory but very little. And thrushes were caught 2 common and a female chaffinch. here is an image of a catch.
