Population size, phenology and habitat preferences of Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax in an isolated area of the northwestern Iberian Peninsula

The main summer populations of Little Bustard in Galicia occur in the districts of A Limia,Ourense (Villarino et al., 2002) and Terracha, Lugo (Barcena et al., 1987). These two populations are the only ones on the Iberian Peninsula within the Eurosiberian region. Data on these marginal populations are scarce. In this note, updated data is given on population size, phenology and habitat preferences at the second of these populations.
