Little is known about the behaviour in the winter. I assessed the wintering phenology by using capture-recapture methods in a coastal area in southern Turkey. Over three wintering seasons, 76 European Robins were captured with mist-nets. Ten of them were recaptured in the following wintering seasons and another after two seasons. Recaptures peaked in November (26.5%) and December (26.5%) and then declined progressively to February (14.7%). Our results suggest a high level of site fidelity in the wintering area in subsequent years.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMigrationwinteringcapture-recaptureSouthern TurkeyArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1080/09397140.2021.20216576812225Q4
