Popis:	The Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola is a globally threatened European migratory songbird that passes through the Iberian Penninsula during its migration from Western Europe to Africa. The aim of our study was to determine the spatial migratory pattern of the species according to age classes during the post-nuptial passage in the Iberian Peninsula by analysing ringing data. The results confirm the existence of differential migration by age according to a longitudinal geographical gradient and suggest that the more westerly the wetlands, the smaller the proportion of juveniles that use them. Our findings also highlight the existence of a very broad migratory front. These results have implications for the conservation of different areas of migratory passage.
