Trois spatules blanches Platalea leucorodia nées en Camargue (Bouches-du-Rhône) contrôlées en hivernage au Soudan du Sud

Abstract

International audienceThree nestlings of Spoonbill ringed in spring 2016 in the Camargue were resighted on 30 November 2016 in the Bahr El Ghazal province in South Sudan located at some 4 500 km to the south-east of their birthplace. This wintering site is rather unexpected. Although Sudan (at least its northern part) is known since a long time to be reached by a few birds breeding in southeastern Europe (Hungary), the southernmost part (now belonging to South Sudan) may also belong to the species’ wintering area
