Abstract—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.
