XVII RINGING PROGRAMME OF MIGRATORY PASSERINES IN DOÑANA
XVII Ringing Programme of Migratory Passerines in Doñana
One more year, the Monitoring Team of Natural Processes belonging to the Biological Station of Doñana (CSIC) organizes the ringing programme of passerines during the postnuptial migration in the Ringing Station of Manecorro (National Park of Doñana, South-west Spain). The campaign comes developing every autumn from 1994 and has a duration of 11 weeks (from September 1 at November 15). Up to some 60.000 birds have been captured of 112 different species, being the mean for campaign up to 3.700 birds. The most abundant species trapped are: Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla), Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscop us collybita) , Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) , Garden Warbler (S. borin), Robin (Erithacus rubecula), Willow Warbler (P. trochilus) and Reed Warbler (Acrocephal us scirpaceus ). A special attention is lent to the Iberian Chiffchaff (P. ibericus), on which we are working in its identification in hand to split it from Common Chiffchaff, as well as its phenologic pattern in the Doñana area. More than 500 iberians have been trapped in the last years in the programme. Some species that have also been captured are considered as rare birds in Spain such as Yellow-browed Warbler (P. inornatus) , Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) and Common Rosefinch (Carpodacus erythrinus ).
To carry out the ringing programme the collaboration of expert ringers is requested, as well as people that has some experience in scientific ringing and want to participate as assistant. Lodging for the collaborators of this campaign will be facilitated in El Rocío village, distant only 1 Km. of the ringing station. Daily ringings run on from dawn until the setting of sun in a marshy place. Information of the Ringing Programme and application to participate in
