Title: Wing-length, body mass and fat reserves of Robins (Erithacus rubecula) during autumn migration in Hungary

Ady Endre u. 5, Hungary Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the patterns of autumn migration
of Robins Erithacus rubecula in Hungary. Capturing and
ringing of birds took place at the bird ringing stations of BirdLife
Hungary in Tömörd, Sumony, Ócsa, Izsák, and Szalonna
between the 13th of August and the 27th of October, 2004. During this
period 3671 individuals were captured and 553 were recaptured at the
five study sites. In September–October, the birds migrating across
geographically more distant study sites differed from each other the
most. They came from various northern areas. The mean of the stored
fat of the ringed birds in October was the smallest in the wooded
areas of Szalonna, although the increase of fat of the recaptured
birds was the biggest here. These study sites, which differ in vegetation,
may play different role in migration. We conclude that the stopover
area and the fall migration period do affect the wing-length, body
mass and fat store of migratory Robins and that there is interactive
effect of both ringing site and month.
Key words: Erithacus rubecula, autumn migration, wing-length,
body mass, fat reserves
