The breeding biology of the Red Kite Milvus milvus is still little known in the southern part of its range (Mediterranean), despite recent conservation concerns and major declines in most insular populations (Sicily, Sardinia and Balearics. [] Key Result In a 42-km 2 study area located in the northwest of the island (Balagne region), breeding density was locally high (1.17‐1.78 breeding pairs/km 2 ).

Breeding biology of Montagu’s Harrier Circus pygargus in north-central Kazakhstan
TLDR
The data obtained in this population breeding in natural steppes with breeding parameters from the well-studied western European populations are compared, and the implications for the conservation of Montagu’s Harriers Circus pygargus are discussed.
Breeding habitats and long-term population numbers of two sympatric raptors—Red Kite Milvus milvus and Black Kite M. migrans— in the mosaic-like landscape of western Poland
We studied the long-term changes in numbers and habitat structures of two sympatric species—Red Kite Milvus milvus (RK) and Black Kite Milvus migrans (BK)—in two study plots (a mosaic of various…
Breeding Biology of Grey Wagtail Motacilla cinerea canariensis on Tenerife, Canary Islands
TLDR
The breeding biology of the endemic subspecies of the Grey Wagtail in a human transformed area (banana plantations) on Tenerife (Canary Islands) is reported, finding some breeding traits fit the predictions of the so-called insular “syndrome”.
Breeding biology and nestling development of the Grasshopper Buzzard
TLDR
The first detailed information of the breeding biology and nestling development of the Grasshopper Buzzard Butastur rufipennis, an Afrotropical migratory raptor threatened by extensive land transformation in its breeding range is provided.
Density, nest site characteristics and breeding rates of the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) in the southern limit of its range in the Western Palearctic (Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands)
Between 2004 and 2007, we studied density, habitat features and breeding parameters of the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) population in Boa Vista Island (Cape Verde). A total of 79 nest structures were…

Breeding Biology of a Little-Known Raptor in Central China: The Chinese Sparrowhawk (Accipiter soloensis)
TLDR
A 5 yr study on its breeding biology at Dongzhai National Nature Reserve in Henan Province, central China found predation of eggs and nestlings by snakes and Eurasian Jays was the main cause of nest failure.
Weather-influenced water-crossing behaviour of black kites (Milvus migrans) during migration
From 2014 to 2020, 32 black kites from various European countries were tagged with telemetry devices and tracked to study their spatiotemporal behaviour. Eleven birds which crossed the Mediterranean…
Master Thesis Can supplementary feeding explain the breeding success of the red kite ( Milvus milvus ) in Switzerland ?
Food availability is a limiting factor on the reproductive performance of bird species and garden feeding can alter the distribution of this resource. In certain rural regions of Switzerland, people…
Breeding Biology of Kelp Gulls on the Brazilian Coast
TLDR
Clutch size, hatching and fledging success, and time necessary for chick Kelp Gulls to leave the nest throughout two breeding seasons (2004 and 2005) on Guararitama Island, São Paulo, Brazil are studied.

Breeding status of the Red Kite Milvus milvus in Britain in 2000
TLDR
The first co-ordinated Red Kite survey across Britain since the reintroduction programme began in 1989, yields 430 breeding pairs, which provides a baseline against which to measure future changes inRed Kite populations in Britain, using standard, repeatable methods.
Distribution and breeding of red kites Milvus milvus in relation to afforestation and other land-use in Wales
Between 1946 and 1993, the numbers of territorial red kites, which form an isolated relict population in central Wales, increased from seven pairs to 113 pairs. Throughout this period, concern has…

Between 1946 and 1993, the number of territorial red kites, which form an isolated relict population in mid-Wales, has increased from 7 pairs to 113 pairs. Population growth has been approximately…
Evaluating the success of translocating Red Kites Milvus milvus to the UK
In an attempt to extend the breeding range of the Red Kite within the United Kingdom, 93 (48 males and 45 females) juvenile Red Kites, originating from Spain, Sweden and Wales, were released in…
Successful breeding at one year of age by red kites Milvus milvus in southern England
This paper presents the first data on individually tagged male and female Red Kites Milvus milvus breeding at 1 year old and is validated by genetic fingerprinting. The data were collected during…
NESTING DISPERSION OF A BLACK KITE POPULATION IN RELATION TO LOCATION OF RABBIT WARRENS
TLDR
The pattern of Black Kite aggregation in the study area, where they breed in a "colony" with a population density among the highest recorded, can be explained, at least partially, by rabbit aggregation.
The effects of land use and climate on red kite distribution in the Iberian peninsula
The main breeding populations of the red kite (Milvus milvus L.), have been declining in the Iberian peninsula during the last decade. However, there is a lack of regional assessments of habitat…

In 1996 and 1997 population size ofMilvus milvus fasciicauda andMilvus m. migrans was censused and estimated to be five to six individuals for the former and three to five for the latter. In the…
Territorial intrusions and copulation patterns in red kites, Milvus milvus, in relation to breeding density
TLDR
The results support the idea of paternity assurance through frequent copulations during the presumed fertile period of the female, and suggest that early copulation activity is related to functions other than fertilization, such as pair bonding or mate assessment.
