Travelling to breed (2006, background): “Delingat et al. (2006) showed how long distance passerines such as the wheatear, Oenanthe oenanthe, are also time limited spring migrants, moving in short hops by night and feeding by day, dependent upon the existent of suitable refuelling habitats to maintain progress.”
The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “…cross the Sahara than previously thought (Salewski et al. 2010a,b) and have considerable flexibility in fattening strategy (Dierschke et al. 2005, Delingat et al. 2006), but the balance of evidence still supports the view that spring and autumn passages over the Sahara are periods of extremely…”
Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, background): “…wheatears fed ad libitum (Ottosson et al. 1990) and supplementary fed wheatears (O. o. leucorhoa) on migration (Dierschke et al., 2005) but seem to be recorded only exceptionally under natural situations on migration (e.g. 45 g reported by Gosler et al. 1998; DFL of 0.9 in Delingat et al. 2006).”
