- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the within-breeding season dispersal of the Penduline Tit, a small passerine bird with a complex breeding system. In the population studied, 38% of nests were such that the male failed to attract females. Aside from possible differences between males and females in breeding-season dispersal, the impact of the fate of previous nests was also examined. The stud was performed at Milicz fish ponds in south-western Poland where most of the ponds support extensive reed beds. The results show that within-season dispersal distances of male Penduline Tits were not affected by unsuccessful mating or the clutch was abandoned in their previous nest while females were found to settle closer following successful breeding.
