Abstract
The main autumn movements through Britain are oriented S-SSE for a short English Channel crossing. Adults move more directly than juveniles, and the latter have a marked exploratory phase of postfledging dispersal. In the spring, first-year birds arrive back later than older individuals.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
