Abstract:

The marking of Lesser White-fronted Geese (Anser erythropus) with satellite transmitters in 2006 (www.piskulka.net; http://gis-lab.info/projects/piskulka) has shown Lake Shalkar-Karashatau (Karashan) to be a key stopover site during autumn migration via Kazakhstan (Fig. 1). The lake is situated in the northeastern part of Aktiubinsk Oblast, Kazakhstan (50°29′ N, 61°07′ E), not far from the border with Orenburg Oblast, Russia. An irregular shoreline overgrown with reeds and a vast water area make the lake a perfect stopover place for the geese. The Lesser White-fronted Goose and the Red-breasted Goose (Rufibrenta ruficollis) were the most abundant goose species on the lake and in its vicinity 12–17 October 2006. Geese were hunted not only in the adjacent fields, but also on the water, from motorboats, and we saw individuals of the forementioned species among the bagged geese. Lake Shalkar-Karashatau should be added to the list of goose stopover sites regularly monitored in Kazakhstan and measures should be taken there aimed at the protection of rare goose species.

Keywords: breeding distribution, East-European tundra, Malozemelskaya tundra, Russia

Abstract:

The catastrophic decline in the abundance and the reduction in the range of the Lesser White-fronted goose Anser erythropus caused it to be included in the list of "globally threatened" species (Tucker and Heath 1994). In this regard, the clarification of the current state of the Eastern European population of the Lesser White-fronted Goose seems to be very urgent. Until now, information on the distribution, abundance and biology of the Lesser White-fronted Goose in the Eastern European tundra remains scarce. According to summarizing reports, the main breeding area of the species in the European part of Russia is located in the Bolshe-Zemstvo tundra (Mineev Yu. 1989; Morozov 1995). In recent years, nesting of the Lesser White-fronted Goose has also been established in the Malozemelskaya tundra (Mineev O., Mineev Yu. 2004). Due to insufficient exploration of the territory, the available data do not provide a complete picture of the modern range and abundance of the Lesser White-fronted Goose in the Eastern European tundra.
