First Ringing Station in Cyprus, Karpaz Bird Ringing Station: Results of Autumn Migration Season in 2024.
Öz
Cyprus is one of the important islands in western palearctic bird migration routes, especially in the eastern Mediterranean route. In contrast to Western Europe, research on bird migrations in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean remains limited. Due to its geographical location and surface area, Cyprus hosts millions of migratory birds in the Eastern Mediterranean region during Eastern European bird migrations. The Karpaz Bird Ringing Station established in Northern Cyprus has the capacity to fill many gaps. Regular ringing activities started in the autumn season of 2024 at the station, a total of 157 meters of mist nets were used and 1.436 birds from 39 species were ringed. The most frequently ringed species were the Eurasian Blackcap, Common Chiffchaff, European Robin, Sardinian Warbler, Willow Warbler, Song Thrush, Stonechat, Spanish Sparrow, Black Redstart and Common Redstart. According to the results, the long-distance migrants such as Willow Warbler, Common Redstart and Blackcap individuals have more fat scores. These preliminary data reveal the importance of the role of Cyprus in bird migrations. Although there is only one control bird (Hungarian control), increasing the recapture data (especially between Israel, Türkiye and Cyprus) will greatly contribute to the determination of migration dynamics (migration phenology, stopover ecology, migration routes, individual physiological changes and more) in the Eastern Mediterranean part of bird migrations under the western Palearctic migration route.

Kıbrıs’ın İlk Halkalama İstasyonu, Karpaz Kuş Halkalama İstasyonu: 2024 Sonbahar Göç Sezonu Sonuçları
Öz
Kıbrıs, özellikle Doğu Akdeniz rotası olmak üzere, Batı Palearktik kuş göç yollarında önemli adalardan biridir. Batı Avrupa'nın aksine, Doğu Avrupa ve Doğu Akdeniz'deki kuş göçleri üzerine yapılan araştırmalar sınırlı kalmaktadır. Kıbrıs, coğrafi konumu nedeniyle Doğu Avrupa kuş göçleri sırasında Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde milyonlarca göçmen kuşa ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta kurulan Karpaz Kuş Halkalama İstasyonu birçok boşluğu dolduracak kapasitededir. İstasyonda 2024 sonbahar sezonunda düzenli halkalama faaliyetlerine başlanmış, toplam 157 metre sis ağı kullanılmış ve 39 türe ait 1.436 kuş halkalanmıştır. En sık halkalanan türler Karabaşlı ötleğen, Çıvgın, Kızılgerdan, Maskeli ötleğen, Söğüt bülbülü, Öter ardıç, Söğüt serçesi, Kara kızılkuyruk ve Kızılkuyruk olmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Karabaşlı ötleğen, Kızılkuyruk ve Söğüt bülbülü gibi uzun mesafe göçmenler daha fazla yağ miktarına sahiptir. Bu ön veriler, Kıbrıs'ın kuş göçlerindeki rolünün önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Sadece bir kontrol kuşu (Macar geribildirimi) olmasına rağmen, yeniden yakalama verilerinin artması (özellikle İsrail, Türkiye ve Kıbrıs arasında) Batı Palearktik göç rotası altındaki kuş göçlerinin Doğu Akdeniz bölümünde göç dinamiklerinin (göç fenolojisi, durak ekolojisi, göç rotaları, bireysel fizyolojik değişiklikler ve daha fazlası) belirlenmesine büyük katkı sağlayacaktır.
