Abstract

The floodplains of the West-African Shale region have experienced extensive habitat transformation during the past four decades, coinciding an impoverishment of raptor populations. We investigated foraging patterns of Palaearctic migratory Eurasian Marsh Harriers Circus aeruginosus, Pallid Harriers C. macrourus and Montagu's Harriers C. pygargus on a floodplain system in northem Cameroon to assess species, sex-and agerelated habitat preferences.
