Diurnal raptor habitat use has conservation implications due to environmental and anthropogenic interactions. Three tree‐nesting diurnal raptors, black kites (Milvus milvus), steppe buzzards (Buteo vulpinus) and African fish eagles (Haliaeetus vocifer), were studied from December 2016 to October 2017. The objective was to determine factors influencing diurnal raptor habitat selection and use in and around Chembe Bird Sanctuary of Kalulushi district, Zambia. We surveyed for birds in ten randomly selected 200 × 200 m sample plots in each of the five stratified sampling units (miombo woodland, grasslands, human settlements, Lake Chembe and marsh). Seasons and dietary composition variably influenced the distribution, habitat selection and use by raptors. The three raptors devised a suit of behaviours to curtail challenges associated with seasonal food and water availability, and anthropogenic disturbances. There is a need to promote multi‐stakeholder engagement and involvement in raptor conservation.

赞比亚Chembe鸟类保护区的季节和饮食组成对每日猛禽栖息地使用的影响：对保护的影响

由于环境和人为因素的相互作用，猛禽日间栖息地的使用具有保护意义。三个树巢式昼间猛禽，黑鸢（Milvus milvus），草原秃鹰（Buteo vulpinus）和非洲鱼鹰（Haliaeetus vocifer）），于2016年12月至2017年10月进行了研究。目的是确定影响赞比亚Kalulushi区Chembe鸟类保护区及其周围昼夜猛禽栖息地选择和使用的因素。我们在五个分层抽样单位（米诺博林地，草原，人类住区，塞姆贝湖和沼泽）中的十个随机选择的200×200 m样本区中对鸟类进行了调查。季节和饮食结构会影响猛禽的分布，栖息地选择和使用。这三个猛禽设计了一套行为习惯，以减少与季节性食物和水的供应以及人为干扰有关的挑战。有必要促进多利益相关方的参与和对猛禽保护的参与。
