Abstract: | Between 1972-1982, 5,000 chicks of Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) have been ringed in the colonies of the Dnestr Delta, Ukraine. Up to 31 December 1992, 56 recoveries have been obtained. There is a strong exchange of birds among the colonies scattered throughout the northern Black Sea. Glossy Ibises from the Dnestr Delta overwinter in western Africa, particularly in the inner delta of Niger River, in Mali. The birds perform long distance flights, crossing the Sahara. Two cases of stopover in Italy are known. |
