The Impact of Unmown Refuge-Strips on the Breeding Site Fidelity of Common Quail (Coturnix Coturnix) – A Case Study

Abstract: Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix) mainly breed in cereal crops and fallow grasslands, where they are threatened by harvesting/mowing. The aim of this research was to assess the impact of unmown refuge areas to the density and movements of Common Quails in the Moson Project, Northwest Hungary. The selected 80 ha study area was first visited shortly before mowing, while the second survey was carried out two weeks after mowing operation ended. Calling males of Common Quail were documented and their vocalizations w… Show more

“…According to Capdevila et al (2016), plant height may also have importance because taller vegetation has better suitability for hiding nests from predators. This is also demonstrated by the fact that in the course of crop harvesting the Common Quail moves to new, more suitable habitats with taller vegetation, as demonstrated by Rodríguez-Teijeiro et al (2010) and Németh and Winkler (2017). As previously reported, the Common Quail did not avoid large arable fields with permanent crops (George 1990, Michailov 1995, Broyer 1996, Aunins & Priednieks 2003 and Aebischer (1992) and Panek (1997) supposed that permanent cover tends to increase the number of insects, which is an essential food supply for gamebird chicks (e.g.…”

“…CAPDEVILA et al (2016 szerint a fürjek esetében (is) kimondottan fontos tényező a növényzet magassága, mivel a magasabb vegetációban a fürj kevésbé válik láthatóvá a ragadozók számára. Ezt a tényt erősítik RODRÍGUEZ-TEIJEIRO et al (2010) és NÇMETH & WINKLER (2017) vizsgálatai is, miszerint a fürjek a betakarítás vagy kaszálás időszakában a területet elhagyva egy új, megfelelő magasságú vegetációval rendelkező helyszínt, búvóhelyet keresnek. Ahogy azt már korábban többen is kijelentették (pl.…”
