Zelenova Abstract: Bolshakov, C.V., Shapoval, A.P. & N.P. Zelenova (009): Results of bird trapping and ringing by the Biological Station 'Rybachy' on the Courish Spit in 007. Avian Ecol. Behav. 16: n 007, a grand total of 6,875 birds of 99 species were trapped and ringed by the Biological Station Rybachy in the framework of long- and short-term research projects. A total of 1,586 ringed birds of 5 species produced,66 recaptures. n 007, birds of 7 species ringed on the Courish Spit in previous years were retrapped. Between and , 60 birds of 19 species ringed on the Courish Spit were reported as recovered more than 0 km from the ringing site. n 007, 61 birds of 1 species ringed outside the Courish Spit were controlled. A review of research projects is given, along with main trapping techniques. A complete list of long-distance recoveries is provided. Key words: bird ringing, retraps, long-distance recoveries, research projects Address: Biological Station Rybachy, Zoological nstitute, Rybachy 855, Kaliningrad Region, Russia. bolshakov@bioryb.koenig.ru, nzelenova@hotmail.ru Received 1 ay 008 / Received in revised from 1 June 008 / Accepted 18 June 008 This annual report is the 10th one in the series of ringing reports published by the Biological Station Rybachy (Bolshakov et al. 1999; 000; 00a, b; 00; 00; 005; 008; 009) and consists of two parts. The first part contains a short review of research projects, description of trapping techniques used and main ringing results (Table 1), retraps and control captures (Table ) during the current year. The second part contains a full list of birds ringed by the station and recovered outside the Courish Spit based on the data received from Russian Ringing Centre in oscow. We also present the data on birds ringed outside the Courish Spit and controlled by us in the current year.

2 C.V. Bolshakov et al. Results of bird ringing in 007 Avian Ecology and Behaviour 1. Current research projects using bird trapping and ringing 1.1 Long-term monitoring of the timing of spring and autumn migration, breeding, post-breeding and post-fledging dispersal, numbers of breeding and passage bird populations on the Courish Spit of the Baltic Sea (field site ringilla ) This project has been under way without interruption since 1958 at the field site ringilla (55 05 N, 0 E). Birds are trapped in specially designed, large permanent traps (the so-called Rybachy-type traps), ringed and measured. or a detailed description of the traps see Payevsky (000). At present a unique data set is available that has made it possible to describe long-term trends in the timing of migration, breeding, post-fledging dispersal, and numbers of local and passage populations for nearly 0 passerines species in the second half of the 0th century. These data have also allowed us to discover the main factors that affect the underlying trends (Sokolov 1999; Sokolov et al. 1998a, b; 1999; 000; 001a, b; 00a, b; 00a, b; Sokolov & Payevsky 1998). Within the framework of this project two traps were operated at the field site ringilla in 007: trap (NE orientation of entrance) from April 1 until September 17; trap 5 (SW orientation of entrance) from April 1 until October 9. n the spring, summer and during a part of the autumn, the traps allowed us to control movement along the Courish Spit in both directions. 1.. Long-term dynamics of numbers, energy condition, moult and biometrics of passerines in NE Europe (field site Rybachy ) A joint 15-year research programme of ax Planck nstitute for Ornithology (Germany) and Biological Station Rybachy was launched in 199 at the field site Rybachy on Rossitten Cape (55 09 N, 0 51 E). t is an area of heavy concentration of nocturnal passerine migrants at daytime stopovers, both in spring and in autumn. Trapping is done in mist nets, each 7 m long. Trapping, ringing and biometrics followed the guidelines of the R and ES programmes (Berthold et al. 1991, Bairlein et al. 1995). n 007, 5 nets placed in lines were open hrs a day from arch 7 until November 1 with a standard gap from June 11 until June Population structure, philopatry and dispersal of passerines on the Courish Spit This project was launched in 197. The data were largely obtained by trapping and ringing juveniles and adults in Rybachy-type traps (field site ringilla ) and mist nets (field site Rybachy ). Additional mist nets were used near water pools at field site ringilla and the surrounding area. Pulli and adult birds were ringed at nests (incl. nest-boxes) at different sites on the Courish Spit. Adults were trapped at the nest (nest-box) using various techniques, incl. mist nets, walloper (butterflytype net), semi-automatic traps, etc.

13 C.V. Bolshakov et al. Results of bird ringing in 007. Results of bird ringing in 007 Overall, 6,875 birds of 99 species were trapped and ringed by the Biological Station Rybachy in the framework of research projects. A total of 9,7 birds of 79 species were trapped and ringed in Rybachy-type traps at the field site ringilla, and 1,6 birds of 75 species were trapped and ringed in mist nets at the field site Rybachy. n 007,,09 pulli of species and 17 adults of 8 species were ringed at nests. inally, 1,690 birds of 66 species were trapped and ringed by other methods in the framework of short-term research projects in 007, including trapping by mist-nets near water pools in ringilla. A more detailed account of ringing results is presented in Table 1. Apart from the EURNG code, scientific and English names of a species, the following information is given: (1) trapping figures at ringilla field site by Rybachytype traps; () trapping figures at Rybachy field site in a joint Russian-German research project; () the number of pulli and adults ringed at nests; () the number of birds trapped by other methods in different current research projects (incl. a small number of birds captured and ringed incidentally); (5) overall ringing figures for 007. Additionally, the grand ringing totals for are presented for each species. Numbers of retraps and controls at the place of ringing are presented in first three columns of Table. A total of 1,586 individuals of 5 species ringed in 007 produced,66 retraps. n addition, controls (7 species) were obtained from birds ringed in previous years.. List of long-distance recoveries reported in 007 The number of recoveries for each species is presented in Table (columns and 5). The data include: birds ringed by the station on the Courish Spit and subsequently recovered more than 0 km from the ringing site; controls of birds ringed outside the Russian part of the Courish Spit. The sequence of species follows EUR- NG (1979). n total, between and , we received from the Ringing Centre in oscow information on 60 recoveries of birds of 19 species ringed on the Courish Spit (see.1, the list of long-distance recoveries of birds ringed on the Courish Spit). n 007, the station controlled a total of 61 birds of 1 species ringed outside the Courish Spit (see., controls of birds ringed outside of the Courish Spit). or 6 birds of 5 species ringed outside the Courish Spit and controlled by the Biological Station Rybachy in 007, ringing information is still not available from the national Ringing Centre (see., data with ringing information not yet available). n the lists (.1;.;..) for each species, EURNG code, scientific and English name and number of recoveries (in parenthesis) are presented.
