Corn Crake (Crex crex) Science Article 4 abstract Halverwege de jaren negentig leek het doek definitief gevallen voor de Nederlandse populatie Kwartelkoningen. Het broedbestand telde nog hooguit 60 territoria en zou gezien de ontwikkelingen in voorgaande jaren waarschijnlijk snel verder afnemen. Groot was dan ook de verrassing toen in 1997 uit het niets meer dan […]

It is included in Annex I of the EU Bird Directive, Appendix II of the Bern Convention and Appendix II of the Bonn Convention. Corncrakes breed widely across Eurasia, from the Atlantic to western Siberia. The core wintering area is […]

Corn Crake (Crex crex) Science Article 7 abstract After a population recovery in 1997, efforts to protect Corncrakes in the Netherlands have increasedrecently. Since 2001, a national conservation scheme is carried out by Vogelbescherming Nederland(BirdLife The Netherlands), SOVON Vogelonderzoek Nederland (Dutch Centre for FieldOrnithology), the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Quality and several localgovernmenmental […]

Corn Crake (Crex crex) Science Article 9 abstract An International Corncrake Monitoring Scheme is suggested in order to follow the populationtrend of Corncrakes affected by large-scale changes in land-use in Central and EasternEuropean Countries. A low cost and relatively low effort monitoring method is described inthis paper. Corncrake experts in all breeding range countries are […]

Coot (Fulica atra) Science Article 2 abstract Common Coot Fulica atra is one of thecommonest waterbird species in the CzechRepublic. The total size of the breedingpopulation was estimated between 1985and 1989 as 30 000 to 60 000 bp (breedingpairs) (Stastn

Coot (Fulica atra) Science Article 4 abstract Chick survival in the European Coot typically shows a convex seasonal pattern. Previous experiments revealed that this pattern is directly linked to hatching date and that food supply within the first ten days after hatching is a causal factor in this relationship. However, the precise mechanism through which […]

Coot (Fulica atra) Science Article 1 abstract Variation in dimension of nests (external diameter, cup diameter and height), water depth at nesting sites, clutch sizes, egg sizes and hatching success was studied in Coots Fulica atra nesting on two lakes in Algeria in 1996-1997. The main idea of this paper is to provide basic data […]

Corn Crake (Crex crex) Science Article 1 abstract A comparison of Corncrakes Crex crex of known age showed that the tips of the secondary remiges were, on average, more pointed for birds with remiges grown in the hatching year (HY) than for older adults with remiges grown after the hatching year (AHY; Green et al […]
