- Abstract
The article discusses the study which aims to obtain understanding of the migration performance of a short-distance raptor migrant with respect to the timing, routes, duration and speed of migration. It analyzes the relationship between duration and distance of migration among different raptor species in the test and throw light on the shifting balance of selection pressures for speed and duration of migration between short- and long-distance migrants. In the study, an area was considered to be a stopover site whether the bird moved less than 25 kilometer during 24 hours.
