Abstract
During 2 consecutive seasons dunlins on autumn migration in south Sweden were weighed and measured at the Ledsk''ar Bird Station in the province of Uppland. primarily the weight data are analyzed. All weights were corrected according to the size (wing length) of the birds. A comparison of the results with available information on passerines is made.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
