Migration routes of the Eurasian coot in the south of European Russia: a retrospective analysis of ringing data
Abstract
This study analyzes data from 120 recoveries of Eurasian Coot rings, which were banded between 1945 and 1977 in the North Caucasus and Southern Russia, sourced from the Bird Ringing Centre. Using GIS analysis and statistical methods, the main directions and extent of migratory movements were identified. These findings are presented cartographically using the Google Earth Pro Geographic Information System. The circumstances surrounding the ring recoveries are also discussed.
