The breeding distribution and migratory movements of the Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus) in province Voivodina (Southern part of Carpathian Basin)

Data on the ringing localities of young birds and on the ringed individuals recovered in the Province Voivodina were used to study the distribution of the breeding area and migratory movements of the Red-footed Falcon (Falco Vespertinus). A total of 17 breeding localities were found: one in the years 1909 and 1913 (Aleksa Šantić), one in 1937 (Senta), and 15 in the period 1950-1992. The Red-footed Falcon nested in individual pairs at 7 localities in the area between the rivers Danube and the Tisa (Bačka), and it nested mostly in colonies in 10 localities in the area east of the Tisa (Banat). The Danube proved to be the natural border of the breeding area of the Red-footed Falcon in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin. Out of a total of 8 recoveries of ringed brids 5 were significant for throwing light on migrational movements if the species.
