As mentioned in previous posts, the study group and rings PASER Albufera has a station in the park where people Viveros banding group sessions conducted once a week. Well, last Wednesday May 6 during the day that PASER was done, I was lucky to run into a meeting at all expected.
always have the hope of finding some surprises y. .. from time to time "whistles" the flute. There are already some surprises we've been lucky enough to find in just 4 days of season. This is the case of a parrot Argentina ( Myiopsitta monachus) passing by one day, and the spectacular male Redstart (Phoenicurus Phoenicurus ) Javi could banding in the same season. Both species, although less abundant, are common in nursery gardens at this time.
Anillamiento de Cotorra Argentina (Myiopsitta monachus).
Macho Redstart (Phoenicurus Phoenicurus) in breeding plumage.
The present case is the rare Whistling Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix ), this small passerine nests in the forests of central Europe (France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland ...) usually occupies deciduous forest but when the temperature begins to decline beginning their migration.
What does this mean? Since there is always at the same place. every year makes two big trips in order to escape the cold. When summer arrives the fly singer travels to Europe where he finds the right places to breed and at the end of the summer season makes the trip in the opposite direction to the south. Oddly enough, this bird, only 12 cm. length is a trans-Saharan migratory and wintering in African equatorial forest. Countries such as Guinea, Nigeria and Congo are home to fly whistling at this time.
The status of this species in Spain is limited, in fact only a few pairs of P. sibilatrix Now playing in forests of the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, reproduction by Whistling Warbler both in our country is almost anecdotal, HOWEVER every year can find an example in their migratory journey, especially in the spring passage way to Europe.
In our case we were lucky to find a copy that is going a little late to play and that was good enough to make a stop on the road in the Jardines de Viveros to give us the opportunity to observe.

Warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix). Road to Europe will wear a ring that marked and, if good you will fall in any other ring networks in the world to let us know your biology data more accurately which are exactly as their migration routes and which are the places where you spend the winter.
