“…Thus, two individuals were seen 18 May 2011 in the mixed colony of Gray Heron and Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo (Linnaeus, 1758) in the vicinity of Khabarovsk (Pronkevich et al 2011). At the left bank of the Amur River, 7 km up the Emoron River, 5 May 2017, a group of six individuals was recorded; 27 April 2018, four birds were observed at the same place (Pronkevich 2019).…”

The article presents up-to-date data on the population of Eurasian Spoonbill in the Amur River Basin in Russia and China. According to the data of 2018-2022, the total number of breeding population is about 550-650 pairs, of which 400-500 pairs are nesting on the territory of China in Xingkaihu National Nature Reserve and Qixinghe National Nature Reserve of Heilongjiang Province, 150 pairs on the territory of Russia in Daursky Nature Biosphere Reserve and Khankaysky Nature Biosphere Reserve.

“…In 2009–2013, a series of avian surveys conducted throughout the greater Academy, Schaste, and Tugur Bay regions in central Khabarovsk Krai revealed that Schaste Bay (mainland Russia, ~20 km west of Sakhalin Island) may be an important breeding area for greenshanks as numerous pairs were found displaying brood-rearing behaviours (Pronkevich and Oleinikov 2010, Pronkevich et al 2011a, b, Pronkevich 2013, Pronkevich and Voronov 2013). During 2019–2021, we concentrated nest-searching efforts here and found a total of nine (six active and three inactive) greenshank nests.…”

Summary Knowledge of the breeding ecology of Endangered Nordmann’s Greenshank Tringa guttifer is necessary to develop a comprehensive species-specific conservation plan. We found nine greenshank nests in Schaste Bay, Russian Far East during the summers of 2019–2021. These are the first nests found in over 40 years and the only discovered to date on mainland Russia. In contrast to previous nest descriptions, we found greenshanks do not exclusively nest in trees, but also place nests on the ground at the base of mature or sapling larches. Our results indicate greenshanks may be larch obligates during the breeding season, and protecting coastal larch forest ecosystems near bogs, meadows, and mudflats throughout the Russian Far East may be critical to the species’ conservation.

Marine moult migration of the freshwater Scaly‐sided Merganser Mergus squamatus revealed by stable isotopes and geolocators

Scaly‐sided Mergansers Mergus squamatus breed on freshwater rivers in far eastern Russia, Korea and China, wintering in similar habitats in China and Korea, but nothing was known of their moulting habitat. To investigate the moult strategies of this species, we combined wing feather stable isotope ratios (males and females) with geolocator data (nesting females) to establish major habitat types (freshwater, brackish or saltwater) used by both sexes during wing moult. Although most Scaly‐sided Mergansers of both sexes probably moult on freshwater, some males and non‐breeding and failed breeding females appeared to undertake moult migration to brackish and marine waters. Given the previous lack of any surveys of coastal or estuarine waters for this species during the moult period, these findings suggest important survey needs for the effective conservation of the species during the flightless moult period.
