In this study, 54 years (1955–2008) of consecutive trapping data from Ottenby Bird Observatory on the island of Öland, SE Sweden, was used to analyze the spring passage of the Scandinavian subspecies of the Bluethroat Luscinia svecica svecica. The aim was to investigate trends in the numbers of Bluethroat passing this site and to provide statistics related to the phenology of migration. Trapping of Bluethroats at Ottenby may be seen as an index of population numbers in the recruitment area, especially for the latest decades when trapping conditions have been standardized. The number of trapped individuals was stable both in the long and short term, but median spring passage has become significantly earlier over the study period. The spring migration of the species showed clear age and sex related differences in timing. Male Bluethroats preceded females with about three days, and adult birds preceded juveniles of both sexes. Finally, the local weather during the peak passage significantly affected the number of trapped individuals, with the largest number trapped in days with head winds from the northwest sector.

Objective of research: To study the role of phoresy of the louse Mallophaga on the population of the louse-fly Hippoboscidae. Material and methods: In 1997–2015 more than 10000 birds were caught; from them about 2000 louse-flies Hippoboscidae were collected and studied. Results and discussion: 12 cases of phoresy of the louse Mallophaga on the louse-fly Hippoboscidae were recorded: 7 cases of phoresy of Columbicola columbae on pigeon louse flies Pseudolynchia canariensis collected from pigeons (Columba livia); one case — phoresy of the louse Ricinus rubeculae on the louse fly Orniyhomyia fringillina from the robin (Erithacus rubecula); one case — phoresy of the louse on the louse fly O. avicularia from the rook (Corvus frugilegus); one — phoresy of the louse on louse fly O. avicularia from the cuckoo (Cuculus canorus); one — phoresy of the louse on the louse fly Ornithoica turdi from the nightingale (Luscinia luscinia); one case — phoresy of the louse on the louse fly O. chloropus from Luscinia svecica.
