Spaans A.L. (1977) Are starlings faithful to their individual winter quarters? ARDEA 65 (1-2): 83-87
Many Starlings ringed during the winter in The Netherlands and originating from a breeding area that extends eastward as far as the, U.S.S.R. (Fig. 1) spent the winter in later years at other places than in the ringing season (Fig. 1, Table 2). The discrepancy between this finding and the results of Perdeck's (1958, 1967b) displacement experiments, and the possible function of the low site fidelity found are discussed.
