Breeding dispersal and site‐fidelity in three monogamous wader species in the Western Isles, U.K.
Adult and post‐natal breeding‐dispersal movements of Redshank Tringa totanus , Dunlin Calidris alpina and Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula were quantified in west Scotland. Data from 373 returning birds marked as breeding adults and 142 returning birds marked as chicks are presented. Unlike most p...

Adult and post‐natal breeding‐dispersal movements of Redshank Tringa totanus , Dunlin Calidris alpina and Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula were quantified in west Scotland.

For each species, adult males were significantly more nest site‐faithful between years than were adult females.
