ABSTRACT Capsule: Scottish-breeding Greenshanks Tringa nebularia migrate largely to Ireland. Aims: To describe the migration timings and determine the non-breeding areas (staging and wintering areas) of Scottish-breeding Greenshanks. Methods: Breeding adult Greenshanks were marked with geolocators and/or unique permutations of colour-rings in Sutherland, northern Scotland. Sightings of the colour-ringed birds and data from geolocators on recaptured birds provided information on the migrations and locations of the non-breeding areas. Results: Scottish-breeding Greenshanks spent the winter mainly in Ireland, with the range also including Wales, southern England and western France. Departure from the breeding grounds, as determined by the geolocators, took place in June and July; the median date for the last day in the breeding area was 16 July. Arrival on the breeding grounds took place in March and April; the median date for the first day back in the breeding area was 7 April. Some birds fed at an estuary close to their territories prior to breeding. There was fidelity to wintering areas, both within and between years. Short-term staging took place during both the southward and northward migrations for some birds, and one bird used the same staging area in different autumns. Members of one pair had separate wintering areas. Conclusions: Scottish-breeding Greenshanks have a short migration, largely to the coasts of Ireland. The migrations involved short-term staging for some birds.

苏格兰繁殖的 Greenshanks Tringa 星云不会迁移很远

摘要 Capsule：苏格兰繁殖的 Greenshanks Tringa nebularia 主要迁移到爱尔兰。目的：描述苏格兰繁殖绿山鲭的迁徙时间并确定非繁殖区（分期和越冬区）。方法：在苏格兰北部的萨瑟兰，用地理定位器和/或独特的色环排列来标记成年格林山。看到的彩色环鸟和地理定位器对重新捕获的鸟类的数据提供了有关非繁殖区迁徙和位置的信息。结果：苏格兰繁殖的格林山克犬主要在爱尔兰过冬，范围还包括威尔士、英格兰南部和法国西部。由地理定位人员确定，在 6 月和 7 月从繁殖地出发；繁殖区最后一天的中位日期是 7 月 16 日。三月和四月到达繁殖地；返回繁殖区第一天的中位日期是 4 月 7 日。一些鸟类在繁殖前在靠近其领土的河口进食。对越冬地区的保真度，无论是在年份内还是年份之间。部分鸟类在南迁和北迁期间均出现短期分期，其中一只鸟在不同的秋季使用同一分期区。一对成员有不同的越冬区。结论：苏格兰繁殖的绿山猫有短暂的迁徙，主要迁徙到爱尔兰海岸。迁徙涉及一些鸟类的短期分期。对越冬地区的保真度，无论是在年份内还是年份之间。部分鸟类在南迁和北迁期间均出现短期分期，其中一只鸟在不同的秋季使用同一分期区。一对成员有不同的越冬区。结论：苏格兰繁殖的绿山猫有短暂的迁徙，主要迁徙到爱尔兰海岸。迁徙涉及一些鸟类的短期分期。对越冬地区的保真度，无论是在年份内还是年份之间。部分鸟类在南迁和北迁期间均出现短期分期，其中一只鸟在不同的秋季使用同一分期区。一对成员有不同的越冬区。结论：苏格兰繁殖的绿山猫有短暂的迁徙，主要迁徙到爱尔兰海岸。迁徙涉及一些鸟类的短期分期。
