Abstract
Austin, G. T. 1979. Pattern and timing of moult in penduline tits (Anthoscopus). Ostrich 49:168-173. Moult was examined in species of Anthoscopus. Second and subsequent prebasic moults were complete. Primary and rectrix moult was typical of passerines, but secondary moult was some what irregular. Moult was largely non-overlapping with breeding, although some body moult was noted during the breeding season. In southern Africa there was some regional variation in timing of moult. First year birds moulted after adults had largely completed feather replacement. This first prebasic moult was incomplete.Keywords
