Journal Title: Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue
Abstract
The present study concerns the bird species marked with rings in 21 countries (from Europe, Africa and Asia) and that were recaptured in the Souh-West of Romania, more precisely in Dolj county. The most came from Hungary (14 specimens), Russia (7 specimens), and Ukraine (6 specimens). The birds taken into consideration (58 specimens) belong to 22 species from Phalacrocorax, Pelecanus, Nycticorax, Ardea, Ciconia, Plegadis, Platalea, Anas, Aythya, Coturnix, Fulica, Philomachus, Larus, Rissa, Sterna, Parus genera. Some of them are kept in the patrimony of Museum of Oltenia, Craiova. The purpose of this study is to inform about the transcontinental bird migration and about some aspects regarding the traveled distance, flight speed, and longevity. In general, the ringed birds turned up in wetland areas nearby water courses, most of them being registred in the Danube Floodplain. In this context, we want to emphasize the importance of wetland habitats, especially of the ones in the green corridor of Danube, as benefic shelters for stop-over of migratory birds.
