| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to describe the phenology of migration, biometrics and fat storage of the Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva in Greece, based on mist-netting studies on Antikythira Island. The data suggest that autumn passage takes place between early September and late October. Most birds that arrived on the island were carrying moderate fat reserves and only paused on Antikythira between nocturnal flights.The aim of this study was to describe the phenology of migration, biometrics and fat storage of the Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva in Greece, based on mist-netting studies on Antikythira Island.
