Abstract

ABSTRACT A new longevity record has been registered for the Common Whitethroat Curruca communis, with a bird recaptured in Italy 18 years and 11 months from the date of ringing. This exceeds the previous longevity record by almost 10 years. A comparison is made with records of known longevity for other species of small passerine birds. The possible migratory routes and the total distances travelled by the bird are discussed.
