Résumé :
|
Three species of small chat that breed in western Siberia have occurred as vagrants to western Europe: Siberian Rubythroat Luscinia calliope, Siberian Blue Robin L. cyane and Rufous-tailed Robin L. sibilans. A fourth species, Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus, breeds across Siberia west to eastern Finland and now occurs annually in western Europe. This paper provides detailed ageing and sexing criteria for these species; it concentrates on autumn plumages, as these are the most likely to be encountered in western Europe.
