Many long-distance migratory bird species are in decline, of which environmental changes, such as climate change and land-use changes, are thought to be important drivers. The effects of environmental change on the migration of these birds have often been studied during spring migration. Fewer studies have explored the impacts of environmental change on autumn migration, especially at stopover sites. However, stopover sites are important, as the quality of these sites is expected to change over time. We investigated impacts of local environmental conditions on the migration strategy and body condition of the Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) at an autumn migration stopover site using long-term ringing data (1996–2018) and local environmental conditions. We found that although the arrival and departure dates of birds at the stopover site remained unchanged, the body condition (fat score) of the individuals caught decreased, and the stopover duration increased. This suggests that conditions at the stopover site during the autumn migration period have deteriorated over time. This study emphasizes the importance of suitable stopover sites for migratory birds and stresses that changes in environmental conditions during the autumn migration period may be contributing to the current decline in long-distance migratory passerines.

Plus Maze

An original test to study the behavior of the pied flycatcher has been developed. The experimental arena can be used in field and laboratory study. It looks like a plus maze with a darkened central compartment, simulating an empty nesting box, and four entrances to the illuminated peripheral compartments of the arena. Birds demonstrate individual behavioral variability. They stay in the central compartment or leave it; make a different number of transitions between compartments and try to escape from the peripheral compartments through the transparent cover. Bird activity may depend on a number of factors, including the level of research activity and anxiety of individuals. This allows you to use this test to study the behavioral syndrome of the pied flycatcher.

Migratory Route

The present study tested whether young Scandinavian pied flycatchers, Ficedula hypoleuca, would direct their orientation back towards their southwest-directed migratory route in autumn if displaced by the maximal biologically realistic distance due south or due west. The aim was to clarify the nature of their inherited spatiotemporal orientation programme. Forty-eight young pied flycatchers were caught and tested at Christianso, Denmark. They were then divided into three groups of equal size and orientation, of which one group was displaced due south and another due west, while the third remained as a control at Christianso. Three different experimenters then simultaneously tested their orientation. The birds oriented in the same direction at all localities, showing no signs of compensatory orientation. This result suggests that young pied flycatchers on their first autumn migration use a simple clock-and-compass strategy to reach their wintering area. If this suggestion holds, then all the prerequisites (a compass and an internal clock) for orientation during the autumn migration seem to be known at present, at least at the behavioural level. In addition, the present study provides further evidence supporting the assumption that
