After completing a night migratory flight in the morning, European Robins begin to make search movements to find a stopover for rest and replenishment of their energy resources. The data on the capture of 111 European Robins during the spring migration on the Courish Spit of the Baltic Sea show that the speed of movement of birds during the search does not depend on air temperature, wind speed, rainfall, or the number of conspecific individuals at the stopover. It is to a small extent affected by the age and energy state of birds, as well as the calendar date. It is assumed that the most powerful influence on the speed of search movements of European Robins in spring is exerted by the endogenous programs for finding stopovers, which differ greatly among individual birds.
