Abstract

The complete phenology of two transaharan migrant passerines present in El Hondo Natural Park (Alicante province, SE Spain), Sedge warbler Acrocephalus schoenobaenus and Savi’s warbler Locustella luscinioides is shown, from the results of a Constant Effort Sites ringing scheme developed in this wetland from 1992 to 2003. Savi’s Warblers (59% of both species’ total ringed birds) peaked in August, while for Sedge warblers (41% of total) the main peak occurred in April. The phenology of these birds is similar to other sites of Eastern Spain, although an earlier spring passage of Savi’s warbler is reported from other localities of South-eastern Spain. Breeding of this species, previously reported, has not been confirmed.
