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.

Abstract:
Since staging and wintering sites of the globally threatened lesser white-fronted goose Anser erythropus are poorly known, satellite transmitters were used to map autumn and winter migration routes of four individuals. After having spent c. 2 weeks at a post-moulting staging place in Finnmark, north Norway, all individuals flew directly to the Kanin Peninsula, northwest Russia. Later, two of the geese migrated along a westerly route to East Germany, where one of the geese disappeared, and to Hungary and Greece. The other two individuals followed an easterly route. One was shot close to the west side of the Ural mountains, whereas the other individual disappeared in the Ob valley, Russia. The results might indicate a higher hunting pressure along the eastern route than along the western route.
