| Résumé : | Breeding of Bluethroat Luscinia svecica namnetum in the Marais Poitevin (western France): status and habitat. A study was carried out in 2008 about the Bluethroat subspecies namnetum breeding in the Marais Poitevin, a coastal region in central western France. The study focused on density and habitat used by this subspecies in April and May. 875 to 1,187 singing males were censused in the study area. This population is strongly linked to salt-meadows (Elymus pungens), dikes, vegetated embankments but also to reecibeds. The census showed the occurrence of an important population and allowed to define guidelines for the management and protection of this subpecies. |
