Black-winged Kite has bred in Denmark and Hungary for the very first time this year, marking a significant northward advance for the striking raptor. Breeding was recorded in Hungary in the country's south-east region. Two chicks hatched and subsequently fledged from an initial clutch of four eggs. Meanwhile, the first Danish breeding record has occurred. A pair was recorded exhibiting nesting behaviour, including nest-building and mating, in central Jutland in September.

Climate warming is shaping ecosystems in several ways, and this includes changes in the dynamics of wildlife disease transmission. Over 26 years, avian malaria parasites have become much more common ...
