Résumé :	We studied the influence of weather on the postnuptial migration of four marshland species (phenology and stopover duration). We used data on ringing and recapture at Donges (Loire estuary) in the years 2003-07 of four species (Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola, Sedge Warbler Acrocephalus scboenobaenus, Eurasian Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus and Bluethroat Luscinia svecica). In warmer years with less wind and less precipitation, birds arrived earlier on the study site. The mean stopover duration of Aquatic and Sedge Warbler was of 7 days and that of Eurasian Reed Warbler and Bluethroat was of 10 days. Our study allowed to underline the key role of the Donges site within the Loire estuary.
