Abstract
The Kingfisher has an extended breeding season (more than half the year) and each pair needs to raise one-and-a-half young annually on average to compensate for the high juvenile and adult mortality rates, which exceed 75%. Movements of British and Continental birds are compared.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
