“…Similarly to our findings, the presence of nearby wetlands also predicted colony sites in Spain, where colony sites were determined by the location of suitable arable lands in the neighbourhood of wetlands. Both in natural and agricultural habitats, the majority of colonies were found within a 100 metre range of wetlands (Calvo & Furness 1995). Therefore the availability of wetlands (including marshes and reedbeds) is vital for pratincole conservation .…”

“…Sunflower was also the most important crop in agricultural areas to Spain, where most of the breeding popu lation was found in sunflower and cotton fields in the south-eastern part of the country. Interestingly, pratincoles regularly establish colonies close to breeding Lapwings, Vanellus vanellus (Calvo & Furness 1995).…”

“…In the Sevilla region, 62% of the breeding pairs were found in fallow and arable lands. The majority of the colonies in agricultural areas were located in sunflower and cotton fields and occasionally in sorghum and chickpea cultivations (Calvo & Alberto 1990). However, breeding success was substantially lower as compared to in fields than in grasslands close to seminatural marshlands (Calvo 1994).…”

Nest-site selection and population trend of Collared Pratincoles (Glareola pratincola) breeding in agricultural habitats of the Nagykunság region (Hungary)

The Collared Pratincole (Glareola pratincola), which was once a typical breeding species of the sodic grasslands of the Great Plain, has become threatened with extinction from Hungary. It disappeared from the traditional grassland breeding sites before the 2000 and is currently breeding only in three sites in agricultural environments in Hungary. The objectives of our research were to find links between the use of shallow wetlands and the breeding behaviour of the species and to identify the characteristics of its breeding on ploughed fields. Data were collected between 2008 and 2016 as part of preparations for the conservation of the largest population which is found in the Nagykunság. We found a positive correlation between colony size and the area of the nearby wetland. We calculated the proportion of habitat-types used for nesting, and found that cultivated fields and fallow lands were the most important. Additionally, we also found that colony sizes were substantially smaller during the research period than those found earlier in the traditional grassland habitats. Finally, we found a positive trend in the size of the population during the research period.

“…In North Africa, Collared Pratincole have breeding population in Morocco, (Cramp and Simmons 1983) and Algeria (Isenmann and Moali 2000). Especially Spain and France have large population and many studies have been undertaken on the breeding ecology of the species (Calvo and Alberto, 1990;Calvo and Furness, 1995;Tajuelo and Manez, 2003;Vincent-Martin, 2007) in Europe. Also Turkey has Collared pratincole population as both breeding area and transition region in migration road (Onmuş and Sıkı, 2011).…”

Collared Pratincoles (Glareola pratincola) have a large, fragmented breeding distribution throughout the Palearctic. Turkey is in migration road where it has Collared pratincole population as both breeding area and transition region. Research area was in Boğazkent/Antalya, Southwest Turkey. In this study, breeding biology of Collared pratincole were investigated in 2016. Boğazkent was transiting region for Collared pratincole, while some individuals transit, some others stay and breed there. Average of 370 birds transited during spring migration and 35 of which stayed and bred in Boğazkent at the end of the May.
